ok my next purchase (after hdds and new monitor and case) is gonna be a new videocard, or maybe ill just go wth the video first for now :) cuz my radeon 32mb ddr is starting to show its age with all the new games im buying :( i wanna run in really really high rez, not just medium rez, hehe.
since ATI kicks so much @ss :) im sticking with them. where can i get the radeon 8500 for cheap? :)

You can always check www.pricewatch.com (http://www.pricewatch.com)

Newegg.com has the 8500 OEM Core: 250MHz, DDR RAM Speed: 240MHz250 for $199 Shipped

But they dont seem to carry the 8500 retail -275 core-(they show it at Pricewatch for $269+* shipping but dont see it on thier website.

OCie.com has the retail 8500 for $225+shipping but thier backordered and have a 4.0 out of 7.0 reseller rating.

Great linkage Yodums

You can always try to get the Dell deal if still available.
