the 8800GT by FAR, but also costs more. depends on ur budget and what resolution u want to play in. use these charts to help u figure out what u want:

if ur going to be playing games on high that are of CoD4-like caliber and at least at the 1680x1050 resolution, u'll definitely need an 8800GT or above. 20fps is not enough from the 3650.

3650?! Wait... I certainly hope you've got the money for the 8800GT, which isn't actually a whole lot more, but certainly will give you a HECK of a lot more power.

If memory serves, the 8800GT can be gotten on NewEgg for as low as around $110US, but will perform at around over twice the 3650.

there is no competition here, even if the 3650 was free, take the 8800 GT.
