Fuck ATI cards i'll never buy one again nvidia is what u want since all games are tested on nvidia cards

That's so true - every single game is tested 100% to perfection using nVidia cards, but they don't bother testing ATI cards at all and release it without a clue whether it'll work or not </sarcasm> :roll:

Nonsense. The CPU is not bad at all even at stock speeds and won't be a 'serious bottleneck' - I think the general shitness of the board in a cheap PC World box will be the main hinderance.

When do you ever see ATI the way its meant to be played.

ati Vs nvidia is a never ending war. Like amd Vs intel
I have nvidia geforce 9600GT. Bit old, but still good enough. This is my third videocard. I have only nvidia and did not cause disappointment.

Well my framerate went up by 10-15 fps on average purely by clocking my Q6600 from 2.4 to 3 ghz. In GTA IV that is.

Zotac GTX260 896mb 216sp OC edition, was on special offer at Aria.co.uk for £109.99, but if this is a virgin store-bought PC then how will your power supply cope?

You will need a 600watt PSU atleast to handle these new gfx cards, your PSU is probably in the top of the case at the back wth all the wires coming out of it, its the yellow and black 12v wires with 4pin pulgs on the end youre interested in, how many free have you got, and what power rating is the PSU?

If you have around a 600w supply, and free 12v connectors then you might get away with it, if you have a good psu it would come with plenty of graphics card connectors, but im guessing not, otherwise you need this:

Also worth mentioning you will probably have to move stuff to fit the card physically in the case, they are so long these days you cant have your drives mounted at the same height, not a big problem, but can be a hassle if you havent got much space [im guessing you have a full size case?] I only have 1x HDD and 1x DVD-Rom so its not a problem for me.

One final note, that Computer you have is pretty good, cant believe its got onboard graphics killing it, if your motherboard has a PCI-E 16x graphics slot.....USE IT!!!
