1.what res do i need to play games with my32" LCD TV To see the games good ?

2.And what card will fit me the most :3870 512MB(150$) or 8800GTS 512MB G92 (177$) or 9600GT 512MB(127$)?

3.need to see movies at 1080P.

4.I will game some time not all the time, most of the time i will use it for internet and office.but when i play, i want to play good,mid-high settings high is better..........

I know that 8800Gts G92 is much better then 3870,9600,and 8800GT.-tell me if i am wrong.


P.S but according to that site http://www.gpureview.com/show_cards.php?card1=548&card2=547 It looks like the 3870 has better spec then the 8800GTS 512 G92 - Is that true??

Yes, the g92 8800gts is much better than the other two. 3870 at that price doesn't make sense, as it perform the same as 9600gt, but cost more. The psu should do fine. And g92 8800gts will do high settings smoothly for all games, including Crysis at 60+ fps high settings 1280x1024 resolution. With the other two, you can still play most games at high settings, but not all.
