I'm planning to purchase a brand new computer but I'm having quite a bit of trouble with component selection (Note: I'm not really the brightest in computer)! I got down to choosing graphic card for my new computer, and I'm planning to make my purchase within the next week or so.
1) Right now I'm bouncing between 4850 1GB or 4870 512MB, because they seem to be within my budget and from what I've read, they're not too bad on performance either.
Here are a few that I've been looking through:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121278
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814161245
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150337
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814161268
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814161236
Does choosing which brand matters, performance wise? or does it all just come down to which brand has better warranty and customer service?
2) Are there any cards that you guys might be able to suggest to me? The purpose is mainly for gaming and it will have to last for a couple of years, let's say 5 years and around $170 price range.
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks
