So far I have a 4200x2 as a CUP.
Next I want to know what GPU I should buy and I really need advice from people who know this stuff.
So the 2 cards I was looking at were the Radeon X850XT and the 7600GT
I under stand the pros of the Radeon is that it is 256 bit over the 7600 which is 128 bit and that is has 16 pixel pipelines over the 7600's 12
The one thing that people have said is that the X850XT is older and has a Pixel shader 2.0 and the 7600 has a 3.0(the norm for today)
I do want to build this comp for gaming and the card is on a budget. I understand that the 850 is also rather cheap (almost $100) and these would be makeshift so I could save for a DX10 card.
Which card would be better if I planned to use it for about a year? Will the Pixel shader last on all of the high end games for a while?
