I'm building a new computer and I was wondering if it would be worth it to get the 7800GTX rather than the 6800GT which I had planned on buying. Here's the rest of the sytem I plan on getting.

AMD Athlon 64 3800
1 gig cosair value select
MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum
ViewSonic G90FB
 
It seems that the 6800GT is the best, But the 7800GTX is newer so they are both somewhat equal in performance. IMO i would get the 6800Gt and save my money.

What do you mean the 6800GT is the best??
 
7800GTX is the best card out.. but it also costs a ton more than a 6800gt.
Id go with the 6800GT, no game can even put out enough juice to top the 7800 yet so dont even bother with it until games are better and the price drops.
 
For the price, and the 7800GTX isn't as big of a performance increase as you think. Right now the best high-end card on a budget is indeed the 6800GT.
 
It'd only be a $150 dollar difference....well ok, that's a good amount I guess. Technically it'd be a $200 dollar difference, but the 7800 comes with a game I was planning on buying anyways.
 
Well with that advice I think I'm going to just stick with the 6800gt. I'm completely ok with not spending more money. ;)
 
I'd get the 7800GTX myself. I costs more but it'll be longer before you have to upgrade.
