A top card would need a monster pc to run at maximum. Anyway, I still got my GeForce GTX 260 and it works perfectly with 95% of the games, except X3 which is highly demanding. -- http://shop-for-computer.com - Best Pc Deals, Refurbished Deals http://shop-for-clothes.com - Shoes, Handbags, Shirts, Coats http://shop-for-car.com - Huge Car Deals, Auto Parts

My advice is spend as much as you can. You want to be upgrade proof for as long as possible (in today's computer market isn't long!) Get a quad core CPU. It looks like AMD is finally catching up to Intel's i7 line. I recommend gigabyte or Asus mobos, but there are other brands that should perform well.. ATI looks to be a shade better than what nVidia has right now (I've always thought ATI was a shade better than nVidia). If you get an i7 CPU you'll have to get matching low-voltage RAM. There are lots of good RAM brands: OCZ, Corsair, Patriot, etc. If you're going with dual video cards be sure the slots on the mobo are spaced far enough apart so there's enough air circulation! With the mobo I'm currently using there's only a fraction of an inch between my two ATI 4850s and one can get pretty hot! You didn't mention OS. I recommend Win7 for several reasons, one being it makes better use of multi-core CPUs. -- Gigabyte EX58-UD3R Intel Core i7 940 3GB OCZ DDR3 Seagate 1T SATA Seagate 500g SATA (backup) Sapphire Radeon 4850 512mb GDDR3 x2 Antec TPQ-850 850w SLI CrossFire ready Antec 900 case |
