Hey Anandtech, I accidentally posted in CPUs & Overclocking subforum, this is more suitable subforum.
Here is my current rig -
Q6600 @ 3.15GHz - 1.375v
Asus P5N-E 650 SLi Mobo
EVGA 9800 GTX+ Graphics
4GB Buffalo DDR2 6400
Crucial 64GB SSD
Hitatchi 500GB HDD
CM Hyper 212 Plus (1fan)
CM HAF 922 Case
600w PSU
Asus VW246H 24" 1920x1080
Win 7 Pro x64
I recently purchased the SSD & CM Hyper 212 Plus & CM HaF 922 (all 3 to include in a new gaming rig I'm going to build in 2012). I had been running my Q6600 at stock speeds since 2008, I just recently OC'd with the new heatsink. Basically I am waiting to Sandy Bridge and/or Ivy Bridge until Diablo III comes out. However, I've been playing Rift on High settings casually and want more FPS. (right now getting 20-35 fps) My 9800GTX+ was the card I also purchased in late 2008, but I have money to burn right now.
What video card should I buy on the market with my current PC set up? My budget is $200-$400 and I'd like a video card that could potentially be paired with 2500K or an Ivy Bridge processor.
