I really don't know what video card to get. I don't wanna spend more then $200 on it. so if there's anyone that can help me I'd really appreciate it.
 
What slot do you have, PCI, AGP or PCI-Express?

Also can your powersupply handle a highend card?

And last of all, for $200 you should wait for the new 8800GT (rumored to be from $200-250, and performs better than the 8800GTX).
 
PCI -Express and I have a APEVIA ATX 520W Power Supply. Darn I really don't want to wait for that I'd like to order it tonight.
 
well i doubt you have a 680i mobo so you cant run sli effeciently enough to justify 2 cards. im betting you dont even have an sli mobo anyways if you have to ask.

ur psu wouldnt power it anyways.

so pickup a 8800 gts 320mb for 1280/1024 res and lower 640 for higher.

or wait for the 8800gt and 2950 pro in late november which you probably should, they will beat the 8800 gts series and be like 200-250$
 
I actually have a XFX LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 680i SLI, and I don't have vista I have XP 32. I really don't want to wait till late november for it. I guess I'll purchase a new PSU along with the V/C.

Would this be a good one?
