Graphics Cards Suggestions?

[unrealhacker12]

Hi I'm going to be building a new Gaming PC soon here are the specs I should be getting:


MotherBoard:
Computer hardware and software at amazing prices, available online from Scan Computers UK
£56.15 Inc VAT

Processor:
Computer hardware and software at amazing prices, available online from Scan Computers UK
£143.29 Inc VAT

Memory:
Computer hardware and software at amazing prices, available online from Scan Computers UK
£30.13 Inc VAT

Total: 229.57

So what would be a nice GPU for this setup bare in mind I quite like it to be future proof and be able to play Crysis at 1440x900, Very High and 2x AA throughout the game none of the bull**** where you get inside the alien base and it drops 5fps.

What is your budget for a graphics card? You can get a 9600GT~£90, 8800GT~£105 or 8800GTS~£130. ATI are set to release their next gen cards soon so I would be inclined to hold out until then.

Also I wish the term "future proof" would not get used because nothing with pc's is future proof.

It is the day you buy the gear.

The next day its old hat though

Hmm not a fan of Radeon.

You could wait a bit longer for nvidia's offering, might be v expensive tho

What would that be?

The next gen cards are set to be released this summer, ATI first then a bit later the new 9900GTX (or whatever it is called). Supposedly going to be a major upgrade like the 7 series to 8 series was. No specific dates I dont think tho. If you dont want to wait for ATI buying a card now might be fine.

Yeah I noticed there wasn't really much of a jump between the 8 and the 9 series so anyone got some details on this 9900GTX?
