$200-range graphics card?

[Exploded_Monitor]

I have heard many opinions on this. I was thinkin 6600 GT, but many people have turned me away from this. What is the best $200 range graphics card?

 

[Praetor]

The 6600GT

 

[Funzo6785]

agreed, pretty much bar none the best.

Definetly what Praetor said. The only thing I can say is you might want to stay away from the Sapphire Toxic Radeon X700 Pro.

Any specific reason? I've had very good experience with that card

My friend said it wasnt to good. He was having troubles with it a lot. But I dont even have a graphics card or have used it so I cant really base it on my opinion . Good to know its a good card though, I'll keep it in mind if I ever have the money to get one, but it if you'd like to send it over to me so I can "try" it out that'd be just dandy.

theres always goin to be someone out there that has a bad time with a card so cant just base it off one time

 

[Apathetic]

Yes I know that now =p

Thanks guys. 6600 GT it is...

 

[Praetor]

Yes I know that now =p

Nothing like a subtle question to bring it out

Thanks guys. 6600 GT it is...

Awesome, just make sure your power supply is up to the task

Yeah, I was planning on getting a CoolerMaster Real Power 450W- Just to match my Coolermaster Case. I'm sure it'll do the job.

That PSU a little low. It has a total of 22A on the two lines combine you proberly should look for 24A total.

information on what to look for in a PSU are here

You proberly fine with this one but if you can find one a little more powerful on the 12v for around the same price you should proberly go with that.

You can get some pretty damn nice PSUs (theoretically at least), with a bit of searching for like $50

 

[guernseynick]

like what? I need a decent PSU for my pc. I made the mistake of buyin without proper research an bought an aerocool 320w! oops. It has 15A i think.
I need a new PSU more powerful than this cuz my system will hav a fatal1ty AA8XE, x700 pro, an loadsa other quite high end stuff. like 10 fans. What can i get cheap an good enough for this an possible overclocking?
