Im not too much of a computer person so i figured id come here to seek some help. I'm thinking of building a new comp and ive been having trouble with choosing a good video card for gaming.

So far this is wot i got:
CPU - AMD Athlon64 3000+ (venice core)
MoBo - Abit AV8, Via K8T800 Pro chipset AMD Athlon 64 socket-939
Vid card - jugglin between BFG GeForce 7800 GTX or ATI RADEON 9550 256DDR
Memory - OCZ DDR PC-3500 / 433MHz
HDD - WD media centre 250GB

Also does anyone know what the best motherbaord for AMD? Any help much aprreciated! :)
 
ahhh thanks mate, yeh the specs look pretty sweet on this. How about video cards? I'm going to be using it for quite a bit of 3d modelin with 3dmax n Maya. The system i got now, AMD athlon 1.6 with Geforce 2 MMX resets within 5min after opening Maya or 3dmax. Any tips on a good video card??
 
A good graphics card for 3D modeling/rendering use is either nVidia's Quadro series or ATi's FireGL series. But the 7800GTX is way much better than the Radeon 9550. I do quite some 3D modeling and rendering myself with Maya 6.5 Unlimited and 3DS Max 7 and the rig I have works really well with 3DS Max 7 and Brazil. But Maya rendering is a bit of a struggle.
 
yer maya is pretty hard to get used to.

I was going through the price for the 7800GTX and its blardy pricy! $700(Au) I've never heard of the nVidia Quadro series, could you fill me in on that?

What graphics card do u use Mrjack?
