9600GT or GTS 250?

cool, that means it can run crysis on max(?) settings @ 1024x768 all filters maxed too? Of course my other components would count. Don't discount the cpu, ima overclock it up to at least 2.6ghz.

Yeah, you aren't running Crysis on full settings. You'll run it with some half decent eye candy, but if you want a playable frame rate, max just isn't happening. Your processor, overclocked or not, will be a bottleneck and even without that, the GTS250 isn't THAT powerful. Not to dishearten you, there won't be many games you won't be able to run looking good and smooth, but don't aim too high.
 
go for the 250...although i dont know about it maxing crysis,might get some high settings on that res.
 
Also, if you dont win that, the 4850 is the ati card similar in performance to the gts250/9800gtx+. Might be able to get it cheaper than a gts250.

I happen to have a GTS 250 and it works perfectly fine. I can play Crysis at the highest settings but the only problem I'm recently getting right now is that my NB overheats so I need to get myself some good thermal paste and replace it with the one that came with the heatsink.
