I'm just about coming around to building my setup, and I need to know if this video card is just about right. I am planning on playing Call of Duty 4 at great detail if not, high at around 1024x768 - 1280x1024. Here is the rest of the setup that it'll be going with.

Newegg.com - Intel Dual-Core E2160 Allendale 1.8GHz 1MB L2 Cache LGA 775 Processor - Retail
Newegg.com - GIGABYTE GA-P35-DS3L LGA 775 Intel P35 ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail
Newegg.com - G.SKILL 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Retail
Newegg.com - CORSAIR CMPSU-450VX ATX12V V2.2 450W Power Supply 90 - 264 V UL, CUL, CE, CB, FCC Class B, TUV, CCC, C-tick - Retail

The processor will be overclocked to 3.0ghz +.

Unfortunately, I don't have the money at the moment to go with a 8800gt. The ATI 3850 256mb seems fine to me, with DX10 support and being just as good as a 2900xt (as someone said in the review on Newegg) with some differences.
 
Well that is really close to the same setup I plan to get. I believe that that card is the next best thing to the 8800s and the HD3870. So I would assume that it would work just fine but I have not tested it so my opinion on this may not be the best.
 
I did some research and asked around and looks like this card is a beast. It destroys the 8600, x1950pro and any other card in its price range. The next best thing would have to be that 3870 or an 8800.

This will do.
