Check out my specs, the geforce isn't bad at all, although i went for the lowest of the top line cards, it's still kicking some major butt, i've increased the loading time on games by a ton (without ddr) and it's very noticable to see the differences. I'd prefer geforce anyways, i've had friends who've spent a good amount of raedon's and the cards just don't cut it unless you're going to get the best of the best in their lines... stick to the FX 5600 series or higher
