I hear not alot of games use that much power so it wouldnt be much of an upgrade stepping up to the ultra.... or i duno. If I do go ultra would that also mean upgrading my NEW psu OCZ Gamextreme 850 watt?
still buying new parts for my new pc, just need memory (corsair dominator 2GB) and CPU (Intel E6850)
already have these
Evga Nforce 680i SLI motherboard
Evga 8800 GTX <
OCZ Gamextreme 850 watt PSU
Antec 900 Case

8800 Ultra is just a 163 watter, GTX is a 132 watter. Your 850W OCZ monster can handle Ultra in SLI with ease.
If you really want the best, then step up to the Ultra. If you will overclock processor to really unbottleneck the monster cards, consider the Q6600 (G0 stepping):

No, you want see that much of a increase by stepping up to ultra. But if it is a free upgrade I would go for it, but thats just me because I love testing out the latest components. That PSU you have will work just fine.

That gfx chip isn't meant for gaming. it is going to conflict working Dungeon Siege one million now not to teach AoE3. once you're on AGP, flow for a (used) Radeon x1600pro/xt, Geforce 7600GT or interior the adventure that your funds is only too low for those, a 256mb 6600GT could desire to be airborne dirt and dirt much inexpensive and regardless of the undeniable fact that be 12x swifter than 6150SE. For PCI, there are greater useful opportunities. yet some ingredient like 7600GS/6800GT could desire to be bare minimum for comfortable gaming. stay sparkling of Radeon HD2400/2600Pro and Geforce 8500GT/8600GT enjoying cards. you may get lots useful (used) enjoying cards for an identical volume of money.
