I don't want to spend a lot. My video card exploded. (Not a 9600GSO from sig, I had a 7600GT. My friend's rig went down and I wanted him to keep playing so I gave him my 9600GSO rig and built a 7600GT rig)
Anyway, after downgrading to a 7600GT I couldn't play newer games anymore, like Mass Effect and Left 4 Dead, but I could play WoW until it died.
Now I want to pick up Mass Effect again and maybe a few newer shooters. Should I get anything beyond a 9600GSO or will that suffice until the new hardware comes out so I can build a new rig in the spring?
I game at 720p, but I'm going to get a 22" monitor some time.
I'm on Vista/Windows 7 when it launches:
4gb Patriot DDR2 800
Pentium Dual Core E2200 @ 3GHZ
