I would definitely go with the XFX Branded 8800gt you posted.
you may consider aiming for the 8800 (256mb or 512mb version)
you could jump for that 8800gt 256mb, which will destroy the 3850. Only about $40 more.
You most definitely can, just make sure you get a good heatsink/fan, I got the Arctic freezer 7. I'm at 2.8ghz right now. Slowly pushing for 3.0ghz.

So far, I've got this chip running @ 2.7ghz.
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....
I would not recommend eBay at all. All my experiences with them have resulted in hassle, trouble, loss of money. I just wouldn't recommend that...

Alright awesome. I'm probably going to have to look into a in-depth guide online and browse around my BIOS to get it at a good 3.0ghz or possibly...
Alright, yeah. That would be the smart thing to do then. By the way, I wanted to know if I decide to run the e2160 at stock speeds, will it...
PCI Express 2.0 is backwards compatible with x16 and so forth. You shouldn't have any trouble inserting it.
I would go for an ati 3850 256mb for the video card. Just a couple more bucks and its dx10, way better than the 8600.
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...
Alright, I've got all my parts (except the video card). Do you guys think I should try to set everything up myself? I have installed a video card...
