which video card

Get yourself a ATI Radeon 5850. You get DX11 for future games and the best ratio between price/performance. Be careful with any new and more powerful video card because the power souce of your PC might not have enough juice.

I've just done a quick comparison on nvidia's site for the basic cards and I'd go for the GTS250. That said, it's still an old 9800 card! If you could stretch to a GTX260/280 for an extra 30-40% outlay all the better.

Don't forget ATI though!

I'm getting PNY's GTS250, but I don't have a say in it.

Right now I have a Sapphire 4850-512 with E8400 proc. and I am totally upset. Black screens in SH3 (random) and 5 (always) (all other parts and software are ok and compatible, I have checked them). So I will NOT go for an Ati again! I will go for the combination Intel-Nvidia now.

Thank you for your replies!
