    What are your computer specs? And also, do you have an AGP slot, PCI slot, or PCI-E slot?

    My build: Sapphire Radeon HD 4850, Asus P5GC-MX/1333 Motherboard, 4gb G.SKILL DDR2 667MHz RAM, Core 2 Duo e7200 CPU, 250gb Western Digital SATA Harddrive, Windows Vista Home Basic 64-bit.

    Yes a 6800 is ok if you have 300-399$ but if you whant to save about 50-100$ the BFG 6600 OC cost about 250$. It can be lower i'v seen it  for 220$. That card is over clock so it runs about the same as a normal 6800  and some 6800 gt's.

    I think I'll get the 6800 because I have enough for it, thanks for everyone posting suggestions.

    I would reccomend a 6600GT if you are on a budget. If you want to spring for a little better you should get a 6800GT or Ultra and if you have money flying out of your ass and a 500watt PSU get a 7800GTX. Or you can go with ATI blahh

    Are you one of those super duper spoiled 14 year olds, or just a flat out, bragging liar?

    Why does it got to be a 14 year old? I'm 14 and I WORK for my money.

    He was talkign to Phrequency, and its nice to hear you work for your money to be able to afford a good computer, unlike some other memebers around here who rip off sigs and brag about computer parts they put no effort into earning.

    Also Takai, you may want to change the avatar if you stole it from Digitydarkman...

    I didn't really "steal" it. I asked him if he didn't mind me using it too in the UO forum and he hasn't responded yet.
