[Pc_Support] Sigh, been fantasizing about BF2

[Jason Boxman]

I'm still running an old ECS K7S5A with a XP 1800+.

I totally need to toast this rig and upgrade to a PCIe board, since it's silly 
to purchase an AGP video card at this stage, methinks.

Any quality entry level PCIe boards?

I'm looking at buying a NVidia 6600 or 6800 variant.  Probably a 6600 or 
6600GT, though.  I've heard things about the NForce4 chipset.  I don't 
remember if what I heard was good or bad since I haven't been looking for any 
mainboards lately.

Is there anything especially good to look at/for?  Is there anything I should 
definitely avoid?

I'm going to bring my own RAM (PC2700, 2 x 512 unregistered).  I might not be 
able to bring my own PSU, though.  My current PSU is a Coolmax AP-350X, with 
claimed ratings of 28A +3.3, 30A +5V, 15A +12V, 2A +5Vsb.  I suspect the 12V 
probably isn't enough?

Thanks!
