Video card?

[CalviNet]

Hey again, I know, another topic by me, but I'm still planning out my first system, and I was wondering if I could get some opinions on video cards...

I'm looking for a good one, and my budget is probably around $200 to $400. I was going to get a 9800 GX2 but I figured I'd get some opinions first. What do you guys recommend? Is the GX2 really worth the $400? Should I settle for something else?

Thanks again for all your help, although when I start overclocking you'll be hearing more of me, heh...

yes.. the 9800gx2 is worth 400... i owned one, and that thing ate up any game out there...

but... better option would more than lkely be 2 radeon 4850's if you have... or can get a crossfire motherboard

2 Ati Radeon 4850's in crossfire, If you don't have the PSU for it, get a 4870, and follow the steps.

Follow those steps.

Dual HD 4850's with an Asus P5Q Pro and Q6600 is really good and can play every game out there (except maybe Crysis) at max
