[QUOTE="SolidSnakeJT"]

Since your new PC will be "coming" in 3 months, I would get HD4870x2. By then, the price on it should drop. It's going to be the best card out in the following months. Make sure you have a big PSU to handle all that juice. It requires like 400watts. If you plan to Quadfire, You'll need a 1000watt PSU to be safe.

thx but if you look at my first posty there is all the specs of my new pc

and there is a Corsair 1000watt powersupply there

wow there was only the quote in last post and what i wrote was not there anyway....

i know hd4870x2 is like 2cards in one

but i want two of those anyway in crossfire unless im sure i can run games like crysis, farcry2 and powerhungry games at max...then i would be happy with only 1card ;)

yeah i know but its the same for the 3870x2 wich is 2 cards in 1 yet if i put 2 cards in crossfire it will make 2g of videoram

i wanna put two 4870x2 in crossfire...but of course if im 100% sure i can run crysis, assassin creed farcry 2 etc...with max settings and only 1 4870x2 ,well its okay for me.

why not buy 2 HD4870x2 ?

anyway i will wait for a review on the web...they say on a previewe that the card is way too hot and does not slow down when not powergamming...maybe it will be fixed when the card is released

Nehalem is supposed to come out next month. I don't think making definite PC plans right now is such a smart idea.webstaxero

well if NEHALEM comes at the end of the year taht means that older stuff will get slight price cuts...so the pc i want now would be 2200 maybe instead of 2600...and i dont wantoverpriced and overpowered pieces...

just as an example :

the core2extreme qx9650 3.00GHZ retail at 1500$ now THATS overpricing !!!!

well right now the pc is 2600...so if it goes to 3000 thats okay for me

i dont want overpriced cards just because they are newer or have slight advantages though ;)

the EAH is between 300 and 400 depending on wich stores

so i guess between 500-600 would be okay...since i want 2cards it would be about 400$ more

what other card would you suggest ?

and other than that will it run hd and hd gaming to mostly the max?

case - Antec nine hundred ATX

power - Corsair HX series 1000w

motherboard - INTEL DX48BT2 : X48 Express

processor - INTEL Core2 quad Q9450 / 2.66GHZ / 1333MHZ / 12MB Cache

memory - Corsair TWIN2X4096 DDR2-1142 2x2GB

video card - ASUS Radeon EAH3870x2 1GB PCI-E ( i buy two of those )

hard drive - SEAGATE Barracuda 750GB ( i buy two of those )

cd drive - PIONEER BDC2202 - 5x Blu-Ray

TOTAL 2600$Can

so what do you guys think of it and will it max out crysis and other taxing games ?

will it run HD very well ?

thx in advance
