Right now I have an evga 8600gts video card.
I want to upgrade, and right now I have kinda narrowed it to an 8800gt ($200), an 8800gts 512 ($300), or an 9800 gtx black edition (cuz free cod4 makes it even out to same as a stock 9800gtx) ($400). Also maybe sli 8800gt.
I am kinda confused which one to get though because my monitor is only a 19 inch at 1440x900, so I dont know what the performance differences will be like on my monitor.
I also didnt know if my processor (e6750 @ 2.66ghz) would be able to keep up.
So I am looking for recommendations, and maybe you can answer about the resolutions and processor too, and how much gain it will be vs my 8600gts and vs the others
I have enough money for anything up there by the way.
I dont want to upgrade like really fast also, I want something that will last a while, and will not have problems overheating.
And dont say I can get it cheaper anywhere else I only want to buy local and that is the prices I have here.
I also dont want to overclock last time i tried that my mouse kept freezing.
I play Crysis, Company of Heroes, CS:S, COD2, and COD4 (When I finally buy it).
I am looking to play UT3, Oblivion, and Assassins Creed.
PSU: 700W OCZ gamexstream

Ok I know this is a lot of information for you all but help would be very much appreciated.
