HIS IceQ4 Turbo HD4850. I like the quiet, 2-slot cooler. This is more GPU than I really need now, but who knows what will be out that I'll want next year.
Currently running 8800GTS (G92), but looking to upgrade in the next 2-6 months to something in the GTX280/285 range, perhaps a 4890 depending on the price/performance. I always get cards that are ~300$CAD.
Asus 3850 512MB. Looking to add another 3850 or 3870 to run in crossfire next month (Sapphire 3850 is only $50 with a mail in at the egg). That should hold me over till DX11 anyway ^_^
This was my first time building a PC ever. Two weeks earlier I thought I could take a WinXP HD drive out of one computer, put it in a WinME computer and have it boot-up with no extra work. I was like when it wouldn't boot-up. :lol:

I repeat this story from time to time on this forum, but I think I never got over it. When I built my current PC (C2D with 8800GTS) I reused my old Raptor for my OS HD (old PC: Athlon XP 3200+ with 7800GT or something), but I forgot to set my DVD as primary boot device and Windows XP actually booted my old OS without problems. Ran it like that for a week just to see how stable it was and it didn't crash more often than it used to .
