    Help me decide which card is best from these 3!

    What card is the best out of these 3? They will be used on a 22" monitor at 1680X1050 resolution.
    The first card is the dearest by £15 but with free shipping
    and the 2nd and 3rd are about the same price I believe so really I will end up paying around the same price give or take a fiver or so.
    I know the are not really up to the minute technology but they sure sound good enough for me. So with that in mind which one would you suggest?

    "1GB nVidia GeForce 8800 XXX Edition 384MB Graphics Card
    96 Core + GDDR3 ◄ SuperClocked XXX Edition"


    "XFX GeForce 8800 GTS Extreme Video Card - 640MB DDR3"
    "


    "EVGA e-GeForce 8800 GT Superclocked Graphics adapter - 512 MB - GDDR3 SDRAM"

    The third card will be better. As long as it is no more than £75(if brand new) then it will be OK. However there is also the ATI HD4830 at this price too which is slightly faster too:

    XFX HD4830 for around £75:

    If you want to spend more then there is this GTS250(rebadged 9800GTX+) for just £100:

    Make sure that you have a decent quality PSU too. If you have an el-cheapo 750w then it is better to replace this as well. You risk causing damage to your computer if you are using a cheap PSU.
