thinkin bout getting this card

[drago3svsu]

i dont know a lot about video cards and was considering getting this:

MSI nVidia GeForce 8800GT OC 512MB DDR3 2DVI/HDCP PCI-Express Video Card

Im just wondering if this is a good card to get or if you can think of something better for around the same amount. What should i look for in cards is what im really wanting to know. I love to game and want room for future games to be able to handle. Trying to stay around 200 bones.

From where(newegg, zzf, td, etc)? How much(for the card your looking at)? What country?

im getting it from ewiz.com for 190.00 and from USA lol.

You can get an 8800GT a lot cheaper than 190. I got mine for $130AR.

Definitely don't spend $200 on an 8800GT even if it is overclocked. Like Gamingphreek said, they can be had for much less if you shop around. I just got an Asus for $135 after rebates.

nice, where are you guys finding these at? i typically look at newegg, ewiz, and hot-deals.org.

newegg is where I got my 8800GT... the deal has expired now though. I always check zipzoomfly.com before buying something from newegg because they often have free shipping on stuff that newegg charges 7 or 8 bucks for which more than makes up for a few dollars price difference.
