[QUOTE=BURG;25969694]Dude, it's a rebranded 8800GS, which can run games fine.
96 stream processors... Not that far from a 8800/9800 GT which has 112 SPs, and the 9800 GT can still run games just great, mostly maxing out all new games, give or take a few.[/QUOTE]
Similar specs != the same performance. The 430 is more of a rebranded 8600GT than anything. (Perfomance wise) and why would he get that, when he can get a 4850 that's slightly faster than a 9800GT for 30 dollars more?
Yes get a 4850 way more bang for the buck.

Get this, 2 DVI. Also, the powercolor version doesn't support crossfire.

That's a cool heatsink.

That heat sink is very generic.

This is a fancy heatsink

I'm just used to those ugly blower type heatsinks.

doesn't every graphics card come with two DVI since 2005?
why is that even a plus for him? surely he's only going to need one DVI port
[editline]10th November 2010[/editline]
i have four DVI ports and i only use one.
and about the crossfire, again, that doesn't matter. he's trying to make a budget build, so it's not like he exactly cares about crossfire

That doesn't look fancy at all.

Add a cheap graphics card (most things can play source on high these days)
^Im not opposed to that, 4GB of DDR3 ram and a 1TB seagate barracude, definitely a steal.
