Which card should i go with?

[Manhuntkotor]

An evga 6600 GT, 6800 GT, or 6800 Ultra? I dont know if i can get the Ultra so lets keep it at the 2 GT's. Will the 6600 and 6800 GT's both last me for about a year? Any help and suggestions thankful.

So if i wnated a 6600 gt for around 150, like this one:

First of all, do you have PCI express or AGP?

Pci express x16, Amd Athlon 64 3200+, 1 gb ram

6800 GT. More powerful than the 6600 GT, almost as powerful as the Ultra. the GT can easily be OCed to Ultra speeds anyway. Ultra aint worth it.

If u want, wait and get a next gen card in a month or 2

Would it really be worth it to wait? I really want my computer now instead of later. I could always upgrade in a years time after i get some money, So no Ultra, go with the 6800 gt? That should be good for about a year and not struggleing on games?

Well, seeing how my PCI 5600 can still run the latest games (just barely), I don't see the 6800GT becoming obsolete any time soon. Go for it. Here is a very good 6800GT:

It has dual DVI, and the best heatsink out of all of them. It is 100% copper and covers not only the GPU but the RAM as well, making it the best overclocker.

They say that thing is freaking huge in those reviews! I was getting a
DFI LANPARTY UT nF4 Ultra-D Socket 939 NVIDIA nForce4 Ultra ATX AMD Motherboard

But for that i have to get an asus deluxe, which i hear asus kinda sucks.

No you would not. Only if you were going to get two of them to run in SLI, which is a total waste of money. It will fit just fine with only one. The Ultra-D is the best motherboard.
