Which is better for gaming that has a system running on:
Windows XP Service Pack 3
3 GB Ram
Intel Core 2 Duo E6400 (have plans of upgrading to i7, but maybe not yet soon)
I am contemplating on one of the following:
9800GT or HD 3870
9800GTX or HD 4850
The reason there are two choices is because I am not yet sure which among the 2 price ranges to get. If the difference is minimal between the 2 price ranges, then I might get the cheaper ones. If the difference is quite noticeable then I might opt for the more expensive ones.
I have heard that ATI is better, but the guy from the computer shop told me that Nvidia GFX cards are better suited for Intel processors. Is this true?
Also, will these 4 run on a Gigabyte 550P PSU?
Thanks in advance.
