get 8800GT if you have SLi capable motherboard, if not, then HD4870.

8800gt Sli is a bit better than HD4870

actually sapphire is the most royal AMD brand by far. Alot more people had issues with Club3D and similar.

It's like saying that get any nvidia card, just don't get eVGA because they "make" like the worst video cards, trust me.

workstation cards are not for gaming for gods sakes. Think about it. Why would nVidia sell 3000$ graphics card if a normal GTX280 which is still expensive for 600$ beat it. It wouldn't make any sence. And for gaming is doesn't. It does for complex animation, architect tools and so on

I know that because i actually owned a server computer with nVidia quadro4 750XGL and i just tried gaming to see just how bad it does and it does bad. Not only you must play on bare minimum a picture on monitor that it shows is just awful in games.

My first option would be HD4870 depends on how much money do you want to dish up

Second would be 9800GTX. A nice card for the money but simply too weak to win with the competition.

I just bought myself a brand new Matrox M9140 LP quad head gfx card with 512MB of ram yesterday. I'll be using the card for runing the newest games. But I allready have a problem with the first game I tried, Crysis. It just doesn't want to start up, no matter what I do. Do I need to wait for new drivers?jernas

Matrox is not for gaming and he is seriously jacking or he is simply retarded

lol ok then.

I have a no name 450W PSU with the antec case pretty much the same as this and it didn't take me down for a year and a half now.

But if you insist

At that resolution will you get pretty much all high settings since the 9500m from what ive heard is a tad better than a 8600M GT

EDIT- I just checked and the Nvidia 9500M-GS and the 9650M-GS are not actually anything new, merely die shrinks of the current 8600M-GT and 8700M-GT so you will actually have to turn a few settings down to medium.

yeah 9500GS = 8600m GT + additional 10% increas in fps and less power consumption

Antec 900 120$

12V (only thing important) PSU 40$

ASUS P5K-E 150$

Intel Q6600 210$

HD4870 310$

Seagate 500GB 7200rpm 16mb cache 100$

Those are important parts. Optical drives, mouses, keyboards and so on is your choice.

Hope is enough

it's good to say how much you want to pay cause we'll be having hard time finding parts for it without your final price.
