if your going to spend the 90 on the 9800 gt then spend the extra 10 and get the 4850 :/

Lmfao... <3 stars (no homo)

Perry.....Whats your Budget? Like star recommends i would get a decent Power supply you can pick one up for a round 60 and up. I paid around 100 for my Corsair 750watt and Im still amazed at the 4850 preformance for a 100 dollar price so i picked up two a while back ago.
Newegg Prices
9800GTX 512mb runs about $134.99 $119.99 with Rebate
4850 1gb runs about $99.99 $84.99 with Rebate


Here are two Charts to give you idea of FPS and Power consumption

I dont want to spend more than two hundred all together.

But how can I run 2 video cards? there isnt a way to take the one I have now off

Ok you don't have a card. You have alittle chip built on the motherboard. when u buy a real graphics card u put it in. Then go into the BIOS and tell it to use the card instead of the onboard chip by changing a simple setting.

Sandy bridge review
http://www.anandtech.com/show/3871/t...-wins-in-a-row
the i5 2600 is impressive, but dammit intel just wants to confuse the fuck out of people with its naming scheme and now the i serese is spread out on 4 sockets, 1155, 1156, 1366, 2011... Fuck

Regardless of the names what you can know is that if your on Sandy bridge there will be no overclocking.

[StarsMine]

not quite true, they said the same thing before the i series. page 5 http://www.anandtech.com/show/3871/t...ins-in-a-row/5

Beacuse the CPUs have turbo you can OC the actual prosesors a bit. If they sell the k series for a reasonable price (like $30 more then the base model) you will find many people OC those.

although we wont fully find out untill intel releases more details.

ok so i just finished DLing and installing F.E.A.R. i load the game up and as soon as i start it up my monitor goes black

i use an HDMI connection to a 27in flat screen HDTV why does the HDMI stop working when i start up the game? all the other games work perfectly fine
