i got 600$, only using newegg. i already have a monitor and harddrive. i would also prefer to use nvidia only (my friend has a gtx 260 and gets over 90 fps on CoD4 MAXED) theres an old 4850 that i could SLi with my new card if needed. thanks for any help. 600$ max including shipping, etc.
You're not going to beat a GTX260 for $500. ($100 FOR OS HURR DURR.)

Besides, a 4850 is overkill for COD4.
Oh yeah, crossfired H4850s will beat a GTX260 by around 60-75% performance (EG: GTX260 gets 40FPS, you should get around 70.)
ati has had too many problems from what i read. they overheat or something is what my friend told me.
He's a lying fanboy Rate agree if you agree.
HD4850x2 gets to 85c usually. Which is fine.

I know. I went purposefully for a higher clock because I can not assume overclocking will be done.
.2 GHz isn't worth $15.

I'm starting to think this guy is a troll. Look at his username.
