Hmm...... i've been thinking if i do buy that graphics card then i will still have to buy a new psu....... so i could by my bro this: ASUS GF7200GS, 256MB, DDR2, PCIEx16, VGA, HDTV, DVI [EN7200GS-HTD-256] - $31.00 : Megaware Computers, Australia :: Online Store which will be fine for Spore as it has Shader 3.0 (2.0 needed for SPore) and buy this AMD AM2 Athlon 64 X2 6000+ Dual Core CPU,(125W Version) 3.0Ghz, 2 x 128KB, 2 x 1MB L2 Cache, Boxed [ADX6000CZBOX] - $112.00 : Megaware Computers, Australia :: Online Store

For $30+ cheaper than the 9600GSO!

Would i need more power for it though? Would that be a better alternative than buying the 9600GSO. I did a psu calculator and found that my 250w will just scrape in for the processor? Will the cpu fit into my mother board? is there a better cheaper/same priced cpu to buy?
