I also have a q8400 Cpu and bought a 6870 last week its on the heels of a 470 and comes between the 5850 and 5870 performance but I don't know what the price of those cards are where you live.

But I really reccomand that card I bought a sapphire for about 215 euro and runs all my games silky smooth on 1920x1080 :) I was on the fence between ati/amd or nvidia nvidia's pro's the cuda that some games have amd's biggest pro is the intergrated soundcard when if you put it on a tv you won't need extra cables and hasstle for the sound.

better ask what games I don't play lol

but for ress I can max about evry thing I play at 1920x1280 anno 1404, just cause 2 ,assasins creed, black ops, mafia 2 but without the extreme physics, metro runs also pretty damn good

at your resolution nothing would be a prob but the 460 can also handle that easy..

out of those 2 the 6870 is the better one but if you don't plan upgrading monitor soon both will be overkill for a long time

the 6870 is faster then the 460gtx. but don't know if it's a big price difrense in your currency.

the 6870 is between the 5850 and the 5870 in some benches it comes real close to a 470gtx.

so if it's in budget get that one ( I also just got one this week and love it :).

but for the low res you play the 460 will be good to

It's 10 euro that's about 14 dollar more expensive to preorder here.

so when I buy it in a store it's cheaper I get a disc manual and box plus it will also be tied to my steam account.

that all for a 5minute walk ( I probably will have it 1 day before the release )

so why on earth should I want to preorder at the steam store ???

also it doesn't make sence since I will get the same practical advantages of the steam version when I buy it from the store.

I can throw away the dvd and box whipe my *** with the manual ( watch out with paper cuts when you do )

hope you like it btw.

l4d 2 will get new content when valve time is finally there :)

they will release no mercy from l4d1 for l4d2 :) so should be some fun and it's free

if you should want to try borderlands wait a few months bound to be in the next steam holliday sales.

like I said real fun in the beginning 1st few days but then really becomes a drag. no where near the replayability that l4d has

and not really a shooter mor a mix 1st person rpg with guns so lots of items and stuf but don't expect to play it as a fps

woops double post......

rainbow six vegas has a decent coop in wich you can do the story in part 2 but it's a older game now and is no where near as good as rainbow six originally was.

good coop.....good coop..........

you should wait for dead rising 2 lol that's what I and my friend are waiting for lol and civ 5 but not really coop nor a fps but still you should get it :P

real coop...... left 4 dead was really special with that :)

you could try modern warfare for the special ops missions coop ( but yeah it's cod..........you like it or hate it )

finding a real equal to left 4 deads coop will be hard lol

you could always do a regular multiplayer fps though...........team fortress 2 can be a lot of fun but yeah not really coop

no dead rising is a 3rd person sandbox game and part 1 was a lot of fun on the xbox. just look the game up for info ;) http://www.gamespot.com/pc/action/deadrising2/index.html?tag=result%3Btitle%3B1

borderlands is ok real fun in the beginning but gets really boring. ( shame you mist the steam deal I wouldn't pay the full price for it )

you could always try left 4 dead 1 it's also quite good if you liked part 2 :)

but don't get splinter cell or kane and lynch the suck monkey balls

not a fps but dead rising 2 looks like sweet coop mayhem :)

and it's out in a few days
