Hello! I'm new here and this is my first post in this community. I was just wondering if you can give me an advice on what to get...
I'm thinking of the 4670 512 HIS ICEQ or the Palit 9800gt 512 or Palit 9600gt 512. I'm thinking of what would last long(for 5 years maybe) considering the temperature and the power consumption. Here is my other components:

GIGABYTE MA78GM-US2h
AMD Phenom X3 8650 @ 2.3
(2x) 2 GB of PC800 Kingston
19" Monitor @ 1440x900
Zeno P-4 600w PSU(comes with the case)

Here is the price here in the PHIL
4670 - P 4500.00 (around $100)
9600 - P 3750.00 (around $85)
9800 - P 4550.00 (around $100)

Of course it's obvious that i must go with the 9800gt but i was wondering would it be okay with my Zeno 600w and would it last longer on than the other? :D

I was planning to play Crysis on a 1440*900 resu and eventually if it can run crysis on high does it mean i can run any games i like?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the reply... really appreciate it, Zeno PSU comes with the ATX Casing that i bought :( . I would like to stick with my cpu because its the only one i can afford^^but i'll try to save some cash for an upgrade but for now. What do you GPU you recommend for me?

4850 is like $40 more in here and if i bought myself a 9800gt, can i run it on my 600w PSU? my psu has no 6-pin connector and has only 2 connectors(the white ones with 4 plugs, what do you call those?) which goes to my casing fan and my dvd.

If it can, then i'll definitely go with 9800gt^^
 
Even a crappy 600w could probably power any of those cards but if it has no 6-pin connector and only two 4-pins that are already in use then you can only use the HD4670.
There are adapters that can turn two 4-pins into a 6-pin but I guess you can't use one. Are you sure there's only two 4-pin power connectors on your PSU? That seems really low.

Thanks everyone. I guess i have to save money for a PSU then i will get myself and 9800gt or maybe 9800gtx(whats the difference). I'll just have to use my 780g for now and play Warcraft DOTA then for the time being and maybe after 6 months prices will go low and i'll have my chance. Thanks everyone.

Hey you want your rig to last 5 years or more so you have to think.
The capacitors in the PSU lose their efficiency with age.
That PSU won't last for that long a period of time.

If you don't want to change PSU now then its okay.But change it as soon as possible.
