My budget is about $180 for a GPU. I always wanted that 4870 but was always lead to the 9800GTX+ or the GTS 250.

If your going to pay $180 for a card then your only option is a 4890 http://www.canadacomputers.com//index.php?do=ShowProduct&cmd=pd&pid=022617&cid=VDC.243.272. It is such a good card for the price and will pretty much max any game and most likely any up coming game for the next 2 years or so. Later on you can get another 4890 for crossfire if you feel like the games are getting to be to much for you system.

 

[Whisper91]

Ok, thanks. But now that I come to think of it, even $180 is too much. Would it hurt to get the 4870 over the 4890?

This looks like the best deal:

No not at all the 4870 is still a very good card. I don't think I would pay an extra $30 for that one. I would probably just go with the other one that I posted. If you really want the 1gb one then I guess it would be worth it.

 

[Whisper91]

Well, I'm still very new at computers, so my brain is thinking that the 1GB is better then the 512MB. But I guess it won't show that much difference. The only real difference would be in my wallet.

Is it if you are running high resolutions otherwise no need for it.

I love Roller Coaster Tycoon 2, it's so fun. I love it how you can put a "Do Not Enter" sign at the exit and no one can leave your park bwahahahahahaha. Plus you can make inflatable boats explode

 

[Whisper91]

^Haha, yeah, it's always fun when you're that bored... I try to be realistic and build Amusement Parks...

One last question for the Video Card before I purchase one.

Either this:

I don't think you need a new video card unless you want to max out games like GTA 4, with the rig in your sig you should be fine for any game that is out

The rig in his sig is not built yet. He has gotten everything but the video card. Which is the reason why he was asking. If you would go back to the beginning of the conversation then you would know that

I'm not reading 2 pages just to find that out : P

 

[Whisper91]

Woot! Just bought the GPU, and apparently the 512MB is being dropped from the market? Well whatever, I bought the 1 Gig 4870 for $15 off total= $186.44 (with tax)

Next up, installation of everything and I'm done!!

Oh and recently, I can tell my current,old PC is dieing, because now it is starting to lag on RCT2 and it takes an hour to load Firefox. I cannot wait for this new PC!!!

Yup its on.

Just gave Multiplayer a go and im actualy quite impressed,Its nothing like i expected it to be,I thought it would be like Left 4 deads servers which are crap but it was basicly....search for room,which it found in seconds,and off we went.

Not played with any local people though yet or english speaking all i got was a load of Foreign writing throughout the game

 

[Archangel]
