Help buying hardware @ Take 2

I wouldn't get the 8500GT at all to be honest. For a few more bucks you can have a 3650. Forget about the 8600GT as well.

Although an Nvidia fan, I'd rather go for the ATI 3650 than the 8500/8600.
Asus EAH3650/HTDI/256M Radeon HD3650 16xPCIE 128-bit 256MB DDR3 w/HDTV + 2DVI R912
Seagate 320GB Barracuda SATA300 16MB 7200RPM Hard Drive w/NCQ R693
Corsair DDR400 1GB Value Select Memory Module R433

I concur, the HD3650 is a lot better in my opinion.

The 3650 is quite decent. It runs a lot faster than the 8600GT.

For sure. I would take the cheaper 3650. Not sure if the extra cash for the 512MB is worth it, but others many disagree...

I would take the cheaper 3650 = R 909 incl
