i'm gonna be building a computer soon and i need to pick out which video card i'm gonna get. the games i mainly play are nfsu, gta, and i'm gonna be playing (can't on my current pc) bf1942, farcry, call of duty, and other games like that. also (i don't know if it's video card intensive or not) i use photoshop and so some minor video editing. my $$$ limit is around $300-350.

thanks!!
 
300-350 will get you a 6800nu. best for that money.

if you could pony up 399, i'd say get a x800pro.
 
If your not in a rush for your vid card, i would wait a month or so when Nvidia releases there 6600gt. It uses ddr3 and will post about 10k on 3dmark03. Probably be around $200-250ish.
 
i'm only gonna be buying all this stuff around thanksgiving time in november, so i'm not in any rush. just want to know what i'm gonna be buying :)

10k in 3dmark03?? that sounds awsome considering my current pc (specs is sig) gets around 1300. if it only costs around $250, then it sounds really awesome. when's it coming out?
 
did you want us to invent/make up more cards in your price range?

6800nu = 299
9800pro = 179
x800pro = 399
6800gt = 399

or wait a few months and get a 6600gt for around 200 ish. i think those are all your options.
