Postby ®Andy Flash® on Wed Jul 16, 2008 10:11 am

:D im very happy to be financially stable now to spend some decent moula on a gaming pc, ive got deals like a 1 terabite HD for £100 and a 2ndary 750 Hd drive for £32, im just wondering what kind of graphics card i should get, i know ones such as like nvidia 8800 or something like that lol are very good... but i just want your opinions, as im building it myself ill upload photos when i start adding parts to the case.

Do not buy an 8800! They are good cards but are outdated and for a little more you can get top of the line. I understand people often have fixed stances on either Nvidia or ATI and it would appear you like Nvidia, however, GET A 4870! Or wait for the 4870x2!

4870's are available from £160.

Also what RAM and CPU do you have, i can give advice there to if you need. :)

Awch, you don't want a built in graphics card... If it is a gaming PC your building you want to be prioritizing that graphics card.

if you wanna go nvidia and mid ranged get a evga 9600 either gso (which i have) or the upgraded model. dont get the 9800 basically the same card with a higher clock speed for like 40 more dollars, right now i have my 9600 overclocked and its beating the crap out of stock 9800 gts, and gtxs. plus you really cant take a 9800 much farther than what they come. high end... well the gtx 285 is about as bang baby as you can get i think. anywho thats the two on my list. though i have to say the 9600 is sexy. :mrgreen:
