Which Vid Card Should I get?

I have a P4 3.0 Ghz HT with a gig of ram. I am looking at getting a new vid card so I can play Star Craft 2 and Crysis. I am looking at spending around $180. I have been looking at either the Nvidia 7950's or the Nvidia 8600's. It looks like the 8600's are more powerful all around except for the memory bandwidth. Which card would you guys recomend? I would like to have DX 10 for Crysis. I do not need DX10 if the 7950's are way better.

thanks

i think crysis doesent need a DX10 card.

Just wait for the games to be out.

In reality, you should save up for either a new PC, or a new motherboard, processor, RAM and video card.

In your price range, the X1950XT is the best card with the 7950GT being in second. The 8600GTS really isn't worth it at all. 

i think you should go for the 7950, dont go any higher or your cpu will really hold you back.
