Heya guys,

I'm going to buy a new system this summer. I got this configuration right now:



I already have a case with powersupply (I know about the high Watt requirements for the 8800 GTX) etc..

But now.. I have to pick my video card..

This are my options: (Yes I prefer XFX)

1 XFX 8600 GT XXX 620 Mhz 159€
2 XFX 8600 GTS/720 XT 219€
3 XFX 8800 GTX 575 Mhz 549€

Alright.. Which one to choose? What I want is.. NOT the best video card. I want the one that fits me the most. Im not going to use windows vista yet. I want to play my DX 9 games on 'high' setting.. which card is the best for me? I'm not a best of the best graphic guru, But I want my games to look 'good' with proper FPS. I'm talking about HL2, AA, D3 etc.

Whats your advice for me ? Thank you!

I am awesome and always right.

get an xfx 8800gts. Thats better. the 8800 GTX is basicly overkill. So the 8800gts 640mb. The core clock speeds on the 8600s,even though they are higher,doesn't mean they are faster. I mean,if you plan on gaming heavily,by all means get the 8800gts,but I prefer a mediocre 8800gts. BTW,if you get evga they have a step up program,so you can upgrade to a new video card,and all you would do is basicly do is sell your current evga gpu. I'd say go EVGA 8800gts superclocked,because that as well has higher clock speeds than the xfx 8800gts extreme edition.
