There was an 8800GT floating around for $208 on [dell.com](http://dell.com) over the weekend. It’s not worth it at all to get an 8600GT, its a bad investment period.

HD3850 is a nice choice just under 200 right now, but I’m sure the 3870’s will be around $200 in a month…

Also whats the model number of your psu? Rosewill make terrible psus… except for maybe one or two in the 750w range. If you get me that info I will let you know if it will have ripple problems. You don’t want a psu to be the downfall of a great system - frying your mobo, vid card, ram, etc. etc.
