      What games?  If its anything with any sort of good graphics, your cpu is really holding you back.  And dont you think 800w is overkill?

              Corrolation does not always mean causation.

              Did you have Windows 7 on your original build?

              Did you do an upgrade install from Vista?  

              Did you do a double-upgrade install from XP-to-Vista-to-7?

              The more crap on your hard drive, the longer the PC has to take to seek stuff from it.  That goes double if it hasn't been defragged in 50 billion years...

              Windows Vista and 7, by default, are scheduled to defrag once per week.  9% disk space prevents a defrag from ever taking place...

              My general rule of thumb is that if your boot drive is to never let your boot drive reach more than 50% capacity.
