Looking for a good affordable replacement

Hi All -

Currently I have the nvidie GeForce 8800 GT video card and for the past 3 years I've been battling black screens / comp lock ups when the card is at full load when gaming. When not gaming the computer runs fine. I'm finally over it so I'm looking for a good upgrade, but one that is easy on the wallet. Either Nvidia or ATI would be fine with me, what do you guys recommend? I have the evga 780i SLI motherboard.

Thanks in advance!

What's your budget? What games are you playing too? EDIT: Oh and what are your system specs? CPU, RAM, OS etc..

GTX 460 1GB Great value for money card right now

Define easy on the wallet. Give us a numbered budget .

I'm going to say at the $200 price range the GTX460. At the $225 price range the HD6870, at $250 the GTX560Ti, at $275 the HD6950. Anything better than those cards is not easy on the wallet so I kept it under $300. I think that you should overclock your Q6600 up to about 3.6Ghz though so not to bottleneck your new card.

That price range is exactly what I was thinking ... thanks so much for the advice!
