i'm having trouble with which video card i should get. I am planning to get a Asus A8R-MVP motherboard and a AMD X2 3800 CPU but i'm kinda wavering on if i should get a X2 3800 or just a 3700 2.2 ghz
 
well.... judging by your name ... you dont know how to oc..Right? so stick with the x2 3800 .. its dual core .... and if you dont plan on upgrading for a while dual core will help ... umm .. what do you wanna do with this comp???
 
yeah go for the dual core .. and if you can afford a 7800gt go for it .. if not ima say go for 6800gt or gs that what most people here will tell you
 
get the 3700+. By the time you need a dual core, they're going to be waaay cheaper. It's a bad investment IMO. I wouldn't upgrade till the applications begin to utilze dual cores.

is a x800 better or a 6600 and also, is eVGA Geforce 6800 256MB for 279 a good deal or eVGA Geforce 6800GS 256MB for 229

EDIT: MY budget is now 1000-1200 if that helps
 
the best card you listed there would be the 6800GS. The 6800GT and 6800Ultra are way too expensive. The ATI x8xx series blows. The 6800GS is what you want... I'm still having trouble deciding whether I'll buy a 6800GS or a 7800GT this summer.
