Often shop at NewEgg but open to other vendors or willing to spend more if worth while. Will be used with a Q6600 CPU, 4GB Ram, and a Sli based motherboard and a large Hannspree 27.5" LCD

Luke Golden Master Messages 5,605 Location Vancouver, Canada Jul 10, 2008 #4 id say a 9800gtx would be better for you as u have an sli board. But if u don't plan to go sli, then get a 4850.

OP OP V Vandrad Solid State Member Messages 7 Jul 11, 2008 #6 Thanks guys! I didn't buy my stuff yet. That was just what I planned to buy. The HD4850 seems awesome and I don't actually think I will use SLI just was going to get it in case. What's a good motherboard and AMD Phenom Quad to run with the HD 4850? I read they work well together. Or does it matter? CPU/motherboard budget was $350 including an after market cooler + $200 for video. Thanks again!!

veg1992 Golden Master Messages 19,993 Jul 11, 2008 #8 It works well together, but a Q6600 + T45HP runs better together

They already have a Q6600, all they need is an Intel Crossfire mother board. I swear so much advertising of the Q6600 on this site. One of these days I'll finally discover your all working for Intel. Helping to wipe off AMD : S
