Alright I have all my new pieces in except for the video card.
AMD 64 3500+
Asus A8V Deluxe
2x512 MB Corsair 3200XLPRO
550W Antec True
The usuals
Using Ti4600 by ASUS
My question is, buy 9800 PRO by ATI now? or wait and buy the 6800 Ultra / X800 XT?
I ask because I was looking at Doom3 pages, and they say "Preferred" settings include those higher end cards. Is there a problem with having a lower end high end card like the 9800 PRO if I'm going to be playing those high end games? I know it wont be extrememly different, just fishing for opinions here.
My problem with going the ATI route is I've had problems in the past with them, and have never had issues with nVidia (knocks on wood).
