If you can wait for the rebate this will be a great price/preformance card.
Totally on par with a 4650 but from an older generation. Here's a relatively good buy (4650 $45 AR+FS)
But if you can afford it, I have a feeling the 4830 will hit $70 again in the next two weeks.

Maybe, but Im on a pretty tight budget right now, I dont have a job right now, and have to borrow money from my mom, she usually caps my spendings at $60. Being 17 in michigan sucks, its hard as hell to get a job.

I started working for myself by building and working on computers for friends (usually friends of friends). The trick is to get connected with people and just doing the things I learned on OCN. Most fun I've ever had, really <3
Get that 4650. It's price/performance is pretty hard to beat.

I don't think the 4650 gets bottlenecked with PCI-Ex16. You should be fine.

About how many fps do you guys think I would get in a loaded killbox server on deathmatch with my system and the 4650? Sorry for all the questions, just want to know about what Im getting. Again, sorry for the hassle.
