Could someone please suggest which fastest single solution video card is best suited to be matched to the following system's processor? I need to stay with Nvidia based upon evga's step-up program. Please note that I have no current intention to overclock. I'm hoping to enable high detail levels at 1680x1050 (monitor's native res), and am currently looking at the GTX 285. I'm not sure if that is a good match for my system:


Video Card: ??????
OS: Vista Home Premium 64 bit
Processor: e8500 (not-overclocked)
Memory: 8GB Mushkin DDR2 800 (4-4-4-12)
MOBO-Gigabyte EP45-UD3P
HD: Western Digital Velociraptor
PSU: PC Power & Cooling 610 Watt Silencer (single rail- 42 amps)
Chassis: Gigabyte Aurora 3D
DVD: ASUS 20X DVD+R


Thank you!!!
 
Third vote for GTX 285. The e8500 can push any of today's single GPU cards to the fullest and can handle 95% of games perfectly well.
