Well I am in need of a video card and wonder what you guys think.
@1280x720 with E8400 @3ghz

I need AA turned up since I also play on my 720p 32inch lcd, ws hdtv.

FOund a good deal on ram and a video card.Corsair 2x2 ddr2 800mhz and a bfg 9800gtx for $150 after MIR.I dont know if I should just get this or go with a different card.

The way I am seeing this is when I buy a video card I still need ram.9600gt is $80 after MIR,9800gt is $100 after MIR.With these I still need ram which is $40-$50 so between $120-$140,

Should I just get the bfg 9800gtx and corsair 2x2 gig kit?

That's a great deal for a 9800gtx and corsair ram but you don't really need that much power but mine as well get it so you can turn up the AA since there will be many jaggies on such a large screen.

Looks similar to my htpc setup. I have the e92 8800GTS and it runs Crysis beautifully with everything on high and 4xAA at 1280x720. 9800GTX should last quite a while for 720p gaming.

Well, if you want to really turn up the AA you could get an HD4850. It's about $140 AR so its not that expensive either.

He's getting a combo deal with that 9800GTX It comes with Corsair Memory so together, it's a great deal @ $179.99.
