9800GTX+'s are around $120 after rebate now, so that one is overpriced.

That depends on where you live. I get stuff from their NJ warehouse the next day. For the money, I would wait a day or two for a $50 price difference.
edit: That company is in CT, so I assume you live there too. I live in MA and always get my stuff in a day. (again, as long as the order is placed early enough for them to get it shipped and it is coming from NJ)

thats a very wrong statement, you do not need a 750W PSU for a 9800GTX and your PSU is stressed more that way. I remember reading somewhere, that if the PSU is to big or to small you cut its life. Id look more near the 450-500W range
Originally Posted by slickwilly Take a look at these they are all 9800GTX+ cards and under 160.00 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...nd&Order=PRICE I would would pick the GTX over the gt for the extra stream processors and the GTX+ for the faster GPU speeds, scratch that I just took a look at your specs. your power supply would be stressed to run the GTX cards maybe you should upgrade your power supply first I wouold go with at least a 750-800 watt unit just so you would not have worry about your PSU. That is a great mother board you have but you will never be able to go SLI with it so if you want an Nvidia card you should get something like a GTX260 which are still dropping in price here are some Evga cards, Evga has tools for the OC enthusiast like Precision tool and voltage tuner that can make a vanilla card run like a FTW card http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...0781&name=EVGA Sorry I keep editing and making it longer, I was able to play Crysis at 1400X1050 @ high W/ 2X AA and get never drop below 60 FPS (I run V-sync on ) when I had a GTX 260GTX sc |

Hold off a little a get a new CPU cooler first, and then overclock your CPU some more. Then buy a nice 4870 1GB, and that will be good for you
