4870 vs 260? which

i have a q6600 and am currently playing at 1280x1024 and dont want to have to upgrade for a while. which one would be better? i mostly play fps's and rts's. thanks, because i wasn't necessarily sure which one would win.

both are nearly the same ! the have been heated discussions here about this before ! and i had the same problem and still undecided ! if you get gtx 260 get the FTW version it kicks the 4870's ass

check www.tomshardware.com they have reviews

ok thank you. sorry this is off topic. i was also gonna upgrade my ram and psu. how do these look.

Performence wise, they are pretty much the same. HD 4870 being better in some games, GTX 260 in others.

But on newegg.com a GTX 260 can be had for about $210 (MIR)

So id go for the GTX 260.

The RAM is fine. That PSU is okay, but there are better choices out there. For example, this PC Power & Cooling 500W is from a more reputable company and costs a dollar less after its 20% off promo price.
