Another what card should i get, sorry!

[lepbob]

Hi all, I think I have my mind made up but want to get some more opinions before I decide for sure. Im building new pc, core 2 duo 6600, 2gb ram, azus p5w dh deluxe and prob a 530w power unit. But as always the gfx card is most difficult for me to decide. I odnt want to spends hundreds but I dont want to be replacing the card anytime soon I'm basically looking at the

BFG OC 8800gts 320mb

or

X1950XT 256MB

I have also peeked at the

X1950 pro 512MB

I thinking the 8800gts is maybe the best bet, I run at 1440x900 mostly would the extra memory of the x1950 pro be more useful or the others better for lasting a couple of years?

 

[!TIMMY!]

Well the 8800gts is DX10 so it more "future proof" i surpose.

 

[darkorb]

hands down the 8800

8800 will cane the x1950

Many thx my choice is made! Any recommendations on psu?

 

[Ham]

Corsair, targan, silverstone, seasonic...urm OCZ, Enermax, zippy the list goes on. Check the reviews for one thats in your desired power range. But the important thing with psus is get a QUALITY one. Which unfortunately means spending as much as you possibly can.

Ye agreed on the 8800 and check our review section for a greatb selection of top-draw PSU's.

I have just orderedan BFG 8800 GTS oc2 and a silver power 600w PSU,as well as a few other bits and bobs I read the review on here and chose that one as the budget was tight.
