Hey guys. So I just turned 20 and decided to get me something special, something every man wants, no not a stripper.....yet. Anywho a computer. And I decided to go all out on this one so it would last for a while atleast and also be updatable and pass the tests of time. So I went to this computer store where they showed me this supercomputer for a super high price (about 2000 dollars) and foolish as i was i didn't write down it's specs so you guys could warn me if i was getting fucked over or not...but i'll get that information untill tommorow rest assured. Anywho the only thing i do remember at the moment is the gfx cards. Now the guy went on about the new ati 5870 was the shit and was superduperfantastic.....now beeing the noob I am I just frowned in a convinced way and agreed. So the other card was nvidia gtx 295 i think. And he said i could choose one of'em and i'd still get'em for the same price. Now i've been reading in these forums and some say ati is better and some say nvidia is better. Someone even posted a picture comparing games in which the gtx 295 did have better fps than the ati 5870. So I'm in a pickle since i don't know which too choose and was wondering if you guys could explain the differences and other helpful stuff.
I would also like to know if there's a new card on the horizon soon? (heard something about gtx300 or something?). And if there is a new card coming out soon i might as well wait for that one and then decide.
Now know that I'm buying this computer for gaming, so what I want from the computer is basically it running games as awesomely as possible. And also that it is overpowered in every aspect....and also can stand the tests of time, (since the motherboard i was gonna get could support 3 gfx cards I can just add another or two in the future if needed. Thanks for reading this long post and any help is really apreciated guys. Thanks in advance!
Other specs i vaguely remember is an i7 processor but dun rememver which kind (as said i'll post that info tommorow). And here's the pic comparing games:
