Hi guys
Please help me select between 8800gt, HD 4850 and HD 4770. Or suggest some othercard better than them in the same price range. My processor is e4300(1.8GHz). Will it limit the above graphic cards?

9800GTX recertified @ newegg.com for $105. You will get better fps with this gpu then the ones listed above and it is probably cheaper.

What are your system specificaitons? Motherboard brand, type? etc. It may not support a higher end CPU

If you have a decent motherboard you can probably just get an aftermarket cooler and overclock your CPU. That's what I would do anyway. If you want to upgrade your CPU then check your mother board makers site to see what CPUs it supports and update the BIOS if needed.

My motherboard is D945GCCR.
RAM is 4 gb DDR2 corsair
present graphic card is 8500 gt.
I changed previous choices, my new choice of graphic card is GTS 250 or GTX 260 depending on the price.

If my my cpu limits performance so I cannot play crysis at high?

I thought GPU was important in gaming. I don't have enough money to buy a new cpu. Never knew of cpu bottle-neck until recently. Will it be that bad? What max performance can I expect?

 

Will it cause trouble overclocking?

By the way new egg do not sell to india. My cousin will go to dubai shortly and I will tell him to buy one. Graphic cards are cheap there aren't they? Cannot buy from india as it is too costly. Thay ask twice the price of new egg.
