It will be going on an amd system. I will be running a amd x2 7750 2.7, 4 gigs ram. It has to be 512, and 150 dollars or less. I got reccomended this card http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814161235 Is this what I should go with? I want to get the best card I can for about 150 or under. 160 is my absolute limit. Thanks guys! I appreciate it. I don't care if it's nvidia or ati, either one is fine with me, just want the best possible performance for that price. Thanks again!

I think the 9800GTX and the 4850 are pretty similar, they both perform better a different games, but overall there pretty much the same.
Things to remember, the 4850 only takes up one slot unlike the 9800GTX.
Also, the 4850 supposedly runs quite hot, so you may want to consider case fans
Anyways, take a read of this

Thanks man!
 
It's also good to consider what the default graphics chip is on the motherboard. If you install an NVidia card on a mobo that has built in ATi graphics (like I did) you will get a conflict between CCC and Nvidia Control Panel. It's an easy fix, disable the onboard graphics in the BIOS, but it's not very convenient. The 4850 might be better with the price/performance ratio, but the dual slot 9800GTX+ will help out in the long run, and you won't have as much heat building up in your case. Just my two cents, good luck!
