Hello all! What a good-looking forum you have here!
I'm after some friendly advice on possible options for a new graphics card - I've been building up my rig over the last 6 months or so as and when funds allow. I'm a n00b and this has been my first computer build, so be gentle!
This is what it looks like currently:
CPU = AMD Phenom II 955 X4 Black Edition 3.2Ghz AM3
Motherboard = ASUS M4N82 Deluxe (PCI-E, Tri-SLi)
RAM = 2GB Corsair 800MHz PC2-6400 DHX
PSU = Avenge Power 850w
Current Video Card = 2x XFX Fatal1ty 7600GT 256MB in SLi.
Chassis = Raidmax Sagitta
OS = Windows 7 64Bit
HDD = 750GB SATA
Monitor = Samsung P2370HD in 1920*1080.
Budget-wise, I want to spend around £100-150 ($160-240), and haven't ruled out buying second hand. I was looking out something around the Nvidia GTX280 - would this be a good choice?
I want to play the likes of Crysis, Red Alert 3, Command and Conquer 4 on 1080i and max graphics if possible - so 2008-2009-era games.
Thanks for any suggestions fellas!
