The 9800GTX+ can max out both with ease assuming you have a processor to keep up. :)

The 9800GT should be able to handle it nicely... highest at around 1200x1024 maybe even a little higher. What's your budget?

in my experience, bestbuy rarely has any recent GPUs, newegg has more, with better prices and shipping is usually very fast.

If your going to suggest the 9800GTX+, might as well of suggested the GTS 250.

Practically the same card, except the 250 is shorter, uses less energy and has a better cooling unit.

I wouldn't recommend getting any individual hardware components from bestbuy, you can definately find much better deals online.

though newegg is good there are other option.. i dont condone the use of bestbuy/circut city/ future shop/source for parts at ne time. but i mean more online sources and occasionally great deals in "proper" computer tores (ones that focus ONLY on computers and nothing else).

To be fair, circuit city is now a subsidiary of the same company that owns Tiger Direct. It could become a legitimate place to buy components. They've had some very good deals lately on different tech things.
