Awsome computer, with no graphics card?

Hi, I just built myself a brand new pc:

Intel Core 2 Duo,

4 GB or RAM,

Vista 64-bit

and a 500GB Hard Drive.

I'm still having trouble deciding which card I should buy, I don't care what the price is, just as long as its not ridicolously high.I do have my eye on the radeon hd4870 though.....

Any suggestions please?

What resolution will you be playing at?

I think I'll stick with the ATI, I don't trust Nvidia, after being stuck with an old Nvidia 5500 for 2 years I think I've had enough.

And whats with this new hd4870 x2?? It's twice the price of the normal one....

It's basically two 4870's strapped into one.

Hi I saw a post here on Gamespot about a new version of the HD 4870 that has 1GB of memory. It is supposed to be pretty good. You might want to do a search on it for prices and benchmarks. I personally just installed the 512MB version in my computer a few days ago and I must say it is an excellent card.sihunt
