I have a new pc coming with a 570 which has dvi and hdmi connections. My monitor only has a vga connection? Will it hurt performance if I connect to the motherboard vga?
It's a solid card; just google it and look at the reivews; it'll play current games on high settings easy.
I'd say around 1000 to 1100 depending on where you live. I live in ca so I had to pay tax (over 100). I also added a firewire card which you probably won't need (20) extra. If you use the same parts I did and and get the 6870 graphics cards it'll be around 1000 to 1100.
For a prebuilt pc, you are not going to find much cheaper than cyberpower. You can lower the price a lot by going to a 6870, vs. the 570 card I chose. The main thing is don't get one of their garbage extreme gear power supplies, they are very cheap and tempting but don't get it.
here's what I ordered.
Make sure to stay away from their extreme gear power supplies; they're garbage.
