ALso i came across an x600 which ive never herd of would it be better than a 9800?

If you fancy a little soft-modding your 9800Se card you can get 9800 pro performance out of it or so the sites say: http://www.microdirect.co.uk/ProductInfo.a...5545&GroupID=27 Or to be safe, go for: http://www.microdirect.co.uk/ProductInfo.a...6859&GroupID=27 (9800 Pro Powercolour OEM) Or for a X600 XT: http://www.microdirect.co.uk/ProductInfo.a...6827&GroupID=27 (will need PCI-E mobo of course though) Oh yeah, to be safe be sure to get a 256bit version of the 9800 and not 128bit as has recently been released.
