I seem to have chosen everything else now, and just need to choose a suitable Graphics card to go with an AMD 3500 on a PCI-E SLi motherboard (1 meg mem).
I want it to be decent for games, but I'm not wanting to spend £200. The PC is not going to be used to play DVDs, but I'd like the option of using it to copy sky+ recordings to, when I run out of sky+ space, and therefore playing those recordings back.
I'd also preferrably buy it from scan, as that's where I plan to buy everything else.
Options?
nVidea 6600:
does it matter if it's 128meg or 256, and whether it's a GT or not?
eg, this one
nVidea 6800:
I think they're a bit too expensive? Unless it's really worth getting the cheapest, at just over £200.
or should I look at ATI X700 or X800?
or... would I get better value sticking to AGP at the moment?
Thanks
