I have the 9600GT right now, and it does fine but I wouldn't mind upgrading to something decent since this card is ancient. Not to mention another big reason was so I could stream PC to HDTV live with sound (my understanding is dvi doesn't carry sound). I'd like something nice to pair up with my 1090T @ 4.0ghz. So I bought the EVGA GTS450 but for like $129 with $25MIR last week but I didn't really see a performance boost in games (I mainly play css, but some COD and L4D + other few). So I'm about to return this + an HDMI cable that I bought so I'll have about $170 to spend on a card. I'd rather get one from microcenter, because I love their instore warranty. So what should I get?

Its either a new video card, or 1 of the 64GB SSD and save money.

New egg is ten bucks less but with shipping comes out pretty much the same.

CSS and L4D are majorly CPU bound.
Does it really matter when you're already over 200 FPS?

Fricking double post. I waited about 2 minutes and hit refresh, nothing shows up until I hit submit and BAM, two posts...

Alright thanks guys, I'll probably jump on this one.
