You can check out the build I'm looking at here.
Basically, I don't want to go over $1200, (US) but I'm worried about the graphics card. I know the 8800 is vastly superior, but its difficult for me to fork out that extra cash. If it is really worth it, I might be able to come up with something.
Anyhow, if it helps, I plan on dual booting XP and Linux. I'll probably play games like Oblivion, NWN2, WoW, etc. I don't really have any interest in playing Crysis as of now, so if the x1950PRO can get me decent settings on some of the latest games out now, I'd be happy.
What kind of performance can I expect from this build?
