Ok i'll get right to the point. I have a q9450 cpu, 2gb of ram and running windows vista. I currently don't have a good gpu, i only have a ati hd 3650 and i need something better for gaming.
My display is a 22" 1680x1050 resolution. I have a friend who has a hd 4890 for sale (tha his model with stock cooling) and it happens it's the same price as a gtx 275. It's the BFG OC one. Which would be better for my gaming needs? I won't be upgrading for a while after this. I would prefer the vga to be quiet as my pc is really silent as it is, so in order of importance i would put noise levels right up there with performance.
Note that any rebate/trade up programs are of no interest to me since in my country they are not available.
Also my psu is a corsair hx 620 - i hope this will be enough for whichever card you think is better.
Cheers .
