Could anyone suggest me a good GPU for about 170$? My 9800GT's fan broke and I'm trying to get it refunded however it've been a suspiciously long time from when I sent it back to get a new one, the store I bought it from doesn't even sell that card anymore so I might just ask them to refund me. And by the way don't suggestions at newegg and such, I live outside of the US (In Denmark, actually)

Much appreciated!

Well I was able to run BFBC2 at max with 4AA and 8AF at a stable 35+ fps on my 9800GT so it might be your CPU (Dual core right?)

Anyways back on topic it's pretty obvius, a 5770 or better. And thanks to everyone for their input
