Why not one of these cards instead? More powerful and not much more

Newegg.com - SAPPHIRE 100189 Radeon X1900GT 256MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 CrossFire Supported Video Card - OEM

99$ !!! holy crap thats a nice deal!!!

400 bucks is tough man, if you had another 100 bucks you could do a lot better probably.

that x1900gt is an awesome price.

400 bucks is easy to build a CoH PC honestly. Just take B1gapl's build and throw in that X1900GT and you can handle CoH on medium easy no lag.

With the X1900GT replacing the 7600GT, in the list I put up, it will come up to $408, without shipping charges.

Thats a pretty powerful computer for some games honestly....it should eat CoH up.
