    I have pentium 4 3.4
    1gb corsair platium
    and 5600 256mb nvidia
    http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=14-130-191&depa=1



    i bought this system for gameing only and i messed up with vid card i hear alot people say that that video card has low fps !
    will i be able to run doom 3 smooth? on high settings?

    or

    should i upgrade to 6800gt?
    if i uprade to 6800gt and i overclock it to 400/1100 *ultra speed*
    will it run good with stock fan? or i will have to get extra fans?

    PS: i have no liqued cooling

    it should be fine but if you had the money you could always add watercooling to your system

    stock fan should be fine on the 6800 then if not you could always get something else fan wise not really that expensive

    your better of trying stock fan fisrt as the stock fan will be pulling air from your computer so if you want cool air going in to your card thats not the way about it depending on which way you have that blue fan card so stick with stock and if you have any probs pm me and ill link you a good 6800 fan ok
