Upgrade Help

[Heavenuse]

Right now I have a asus p5n32-e sli plus motherboard and running two nvidea 6800 ultras. I am looking to upgrade those two cards to one nice one for around $150 range. Any suggestions?

Nvidia GTS 250 in that price range. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...iption=&Ntk=&CFG=&SpeTabStoreType=&srchInDesc=

That is if you want Nvidia to SLI again. After the GTS 250 it jumps to the GTX 260.

Either an HD 5750 or GTS 250, of course there are cheaper cards but depends on what games you are gonna be playing.

Looking for decent gaming on it stuff like EQ2, Borderlands, Aion, and such. At the moment the two 6800's just are not cutting it to run them on higher settings.

If thats your limit then those would be the cards I would choose from.

just thinking out loud here. But what processor do you have? It might not even be worth to upgrade anymore. That mobo was back from the days dualcores where still new.

i'd go for a another brand like this one. overclocked and much better cooler.

I would choose either one of these 3.

I would go for the MSI or XFX. The last few PNY cards I've had gave me problems.
