Re: new cheap comp setup
Sounds like a good setup you got there, very close to mine. I just bought a 8600gt-512 for my old man for xmas, I hope its a decent card.... ------- video cards up here are so pricey, I should have bought it online for sure, oh well next time.

Re: new cheap comp setup
i don't have any games that new to need a better card.
it was cheap thats why i got it
i would've got a 8800gt but of course they all sold out.
if i have the desire to play a new game i'll just get a new card at that time.

Re: new cheap comp setup
New Egg is selling recertified Raptors for $89 IIRC. Two of those in raid would rip.
$220 for a 8800gtx seems like a really good deal. Where from?
Ive been looking at the 512 8800gt. Toms hardware had a good comp. article, and the price/perf. sweet spot was the 8800GT.
