ok ... i just got a new computer and I have a NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GT with 350w power supply ... and i keep seeing little glitches in game.

Now I'm pretty sure all it is, is that I need a better power supply but my parents wont buy anything until the technical support guy here says what i need ... so ill be waiting for your post...

I'd recommend a 450W to 500W PSU

PCIex and SLI video cards chew the power like crazy

Of course you'll need to post your DXDIAG and SYSINFO and an example of the glitches (a screenshot) before we can be sure.
