8800GTS 320MB overkill?

Is the 8800GTS 320MB overkill for running at 1280x1024?_SKatEDiRt_

Nope. Nothing is overkill, not when you have Supreme Commanderfrost_mourne13

So true.... >_> though anybody can always use a better proc for that game as well 

what about the 640MB? How well do you think it will perform?_SKatEDiRt_

It will perform the same on your cpu-bound resolution. Really only useful if you up the resolution. 

I think is, you're better off getting a faster CPU and RAM.X360PS3AMD05

what are you talking about?  if he wants better gaming performance the 8800gts is one of the best ideas

I will of course be getting an SLI mobo Athlon X2 5600+ and DDR2 800 RAM

I want one sooo bad but too expensive at the moment.

ARG! I can Feeeel the Dual Channel DDR266 Clogging my SYSTEM!!!!!!

well how much are you spending for the AMD proc and board?

actually he's getting another board, i'd say make the switch to a lga775 then.jfelisario

somewhere around 300 for both. But If someone could find me something cheaper and a better value than a X2 5600+ then that would be great. 

you can get the 650i lga775 mobo for about 120ish, and the e6420 for 189 or the e6320 for 168, you'll be better served that way coupled with the 8800 gts.jfelisario

The only reason I won't get the 650i is because of the PCI-E 8x speeds when in SLI. That board to me is a complete failure. 

SLI is a failure in general, unless you're gaming at 25*16 what's the point?X360PS3AMD05

the option is nice to have, and to get it cheaper with the 650i is not bad at all no? but yeah, usually the gpu makers will release a card that'll be faster than the previous generation's high-end in sli.... 

Naa he just needs on of these!

IMO w8 abit till quad core is about $266 round about Q3 ort middle of this year! and pick up a E6600 for cheap!

bleh.... waste of money, the 8800 ultra that is. intel price drops are good though. 

Yeah, think about it that 8x thing ..... what it would be like 2 frames or something?

and the best budget processor is the e6420 processor because u can overclock it way too far and it has the 4mb cache.
