GTX 260 or 285 for new i7 gaming pc?

[thuglife11]

Hi, ive picked out almost all of my parts but i am stuck in choosing a gpu for my new i7 gaming pc. This is my first build and i was wondering which card would be good for me. I play pretty much all games, mostly online FPS and MMO's. I was wondering if i should get a gtx 285 or if that would be overkill and i should just got with the gtx 260. Here is the monitor i will be using.

get a 4890, it's cheaper than the GTX 285 but it is very close performance wise, and equals it when oc'ed.

then with the money you saved, get a bit more cash and wait for the DX11 cards and splash out on one of those.

I also am building a i7 Gaming Rig for mainly Call of Duty and Warhammer Onl, i have chosen the GTX 285. If i were you i would just look at benchmarks for the games you plan on using. ATI has higher benchmarks for some programs, and Nvidia trumps ATI on some programs. Since the 2 cards are not too terribly off each other in price or quality, just find the benchmarks that show the best results for what you plan on doing with it.

Cheerio

Easy, split the difference and go with a gtx 275. It doesn't produce much heat, use much power, and when over clocked it's almost on par with a gtx 285. It's a nice card.
