OK, the crappy ram modules on my card have finally gotten to me. (Can't even play at underclocked clocks for longer then an hour... ********) . I am buying a 4850 most likely.
Newegg.com - SAPPHIRE 100242L Radeon HD 4850 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFire Supported Video Card - Desktop Graphics / Video Cards
Newegg has Sapphire HD 4850 512MB PCI-Express Video Card for $175 - $15 (with code S4F50242L) - $20 Rebate = $140 with free shipping.
So the plan is, I buy this card for $160 +tax (i get tax from newegg). Then when I get it, I RMA my 8800gt 512, I also take advantage of the $20 rebate. When I get my 8800 gt 512, I sell it for however much I can (I hope $120 maybe as it would be BRAND new). That way, I would of just "step-up'd" for $20.
Sound good if all goes according to plan? Because I want this, I REFUSE to go 2 weeks without a gpu and I REFUSE to game at anything less then highest resoultion with my new monitor, and I REFUSE to spend anymore money this summer....
24" *check*
new headset *check*
New phone *check*
Water cooling *check*
GPU *pending*
....wtf? Didn't I just say 2-3 months ago that I would NOT upgrade.... *sigh*
