PSU: Antec High Current Gamer Series HCG-400 PSU

ALL I NEED TO CHOOSE IS MY GRAPHICS CARD! PLEASE HELP

No offense but, I dont think id call diablo3 or WoW intense gaming. Only FPS games really put a system to its limits. Also, since Diablo3 isnt out yet, it is kind of hard to make any judgements....

There are tons of good cards in the $100-$150 range though.

I think most recommendations you are going to get will be:

NVIDIA: GTX 550 ti, GTX 460, GTX 560 ti

AMD: 6770, 6850, 6870

I love that face when you put a colon next to a capital d


I say get a GTX 460 or a Radeon 6850 (whatever you can find the best deal on)

and other damanding current games

Welcome to the forums.
How much are you willing to spend?

you need to go up a notch on the PSU. 30 amps on the 12v is not going to cut it if you get a gtx560 Ti or faster and do any overclocking.

With that rig I reckon you should get at least an HD6950 2GB or a GTX560Ti.
Either that or wait for the new generation AMD/NVDA due out later this year.(NVDA will probably be late...so maybe next year Q1 or Q2):sneaky:

HD6870 for $155
If you want to spend a little more, GTX560 Ti @ 950mhz for $240. Blizzard games perform better on NV cards, especially WOW (we don't know much about Diablo 3).

You can always grab a GTX560 Ti and overclock it yourself too if you want to save $30+.
