Hey all..well with quake4 coming, I've decied to build a new pc.
Right now I'm hung up on deciding between some video cards (all pci-x16)....
evga geforce 6800 gt (512mb) vs evga geforce 6800 gt (256mb) vs ati radeon x800xl
If I'm spending this much on one of these cards should I just go up to an evga 7800gt or perhaps another card is better than all of these? Also, I'd like to stay under 400 and if it helps any, the main game I will be playing is quake4.
Additional info on new pc (these are the parts I'm leaning towards, but I'm open to suggestions if you guys think I should be getting different parts):
mobo: Abit AW8-MAX 3rd Eye II
cpu: atleast a 3ghz 64bit p4 (open to AMD aswell)
memory: ddr2667 atleast 1gb (not sure on brand yet)
powersuppy: 500w (not sure on which brand though)
hdd: western digital sataII 250gb 7200rpm
dvd rw: not sure on brand
case: not sure on this either, just looking for one that has room for expansion and comes equipped with good fans/air flow
Thanks for the suggestions
