ADVICE: DO NOT skimp on the PSU, get a reputable brand.

Also I've seen the 8800GTS going for R2.8K somewhere, can't remember where exactly.

how are those 2 cards against each other by the way?

Thats a bit steep for me thou, cause i have to move out of the house and had to steal cash form my PC account:( . So i have 9G to my name for a pc what could you build me for that mate?
 
The one has more RAM? Means it will last longer with good at DX10 games

Is that R9000 for just a box or a whole new PC and if so, what type of screen do you desire?
 
Intel my friend and i am looking at Nvidia, that last card had some decent reviews from what i can see. I am looking for the gaming side only. :rolleyes:
 
I will be back in about 2 hours have to go to town! But will check the post a little later. Thanks
