aight ill go on 3700 X2 but the only brand i have here is saphire is it ok?
and no need to change mobo or whatever?
and i guess ill go on 750W cause the 850 is VERY expensive.

 

[Urza]

I agree with slayspud. Two 8800GTs in SLi will be on par or better than the 3870x2, and costs 100-150USD less as well.

 

[dweirdo]

can you be more specific? 8800GT how much mb? cause 2*512 are way much expensive than the 3700X2

Well prices may be different in your country, but here in the US the 3870x2 runs about 400USD; while you can get 8800GTs (512mb) for 150USD each.

EDT: 3870x2

Get that, a good 550-600W PSU and change the HD3870x2 to TWO HD 3870's, it will be cheaper

 

[dweirdo]

URZA: i wish i could buy it on the web....my country is expensive.
WOOHOO: HD3870X2 is two HD 3870

,and about the psu you think its enough?

 

[slayerspud]

For PSU get the Gamexstream 750W, it's cheap but does the job. It's had very good reviews as well.

 

[xJonny]

I'd recommend about a 650w PSU for the 3870x2, preferable a good branded one like

Corsair (choose the series according to if you want modular, how many watts, and so on)
Antec
OCZ ___Xstream series

Note the P35 motherboards won't support SLi such as 2 8800gt, you'll need an nForce one such as an XFX 780i or the Asus P5n32e.

antec is awesome my antec neopower is still going strong after all these years

dont worry about ram timings just get the fastest memory u can afford 800 or 1066
or higher if ur frisky

personally i would stick with some decent 800 chips

3870x2 meh!
i would stick with a 8800gt 512mb

the premium u pay for that card is not worth the performance

 

[dweirdo]

ok thank you all im buying my pc tomorrow just to be sure which are the best 8 Video cards on the market (not the quadro which costs 2000$ XD).
just 2 be sure, and which brands of video cards are the best, cause i heard sapphire and eVGA suckz

 

[fischju]

Sapphire is the biggest seller of ATI cards, and evga is probably the biggest nvidia seller. They are both good brands.

 

[dweirdo]

hmmm but i heard eVGA screwd up with their 9800GTX or im mistaken?
and can you list me the 8 best cards?

 

[fischju]

Uh, in terms of performance? Not counting the 9000 series - 8800 Ultra > 8800 GTX > 8800GTS 512 > 8800GT 512 > 3870 512 > 8800GTS 640 > 2900XT 1GB > 3850

 

[superkrm]

8 best for gaming?
well, that would depend on ur price range.

the 3870, 8800gt, 9600 and 8800gs are in that sweet spot of performance vs price, imo

though i dont know how much those cards would be in lithuanian "internet monay!!"

 

[dweirdo]

price doesnt natter, except 9800X2 i can by everythingy.
so to be sure which 1 of those is the best for GAMES(without counting the price)
9800 GTX 512
8800GTX 512
8800GT 512
8800GTS 512
REadon HD 3870X2 1gb 2*512

 

[superkrm]

i guess out of those the 3870X2 has the best performance overall

i havent seen many benchies for the 9800gtx
