XFX 4850 if you want to game at moderate detail $120

If not 4670 for low detail $75, its also nice and quiet
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814161287

$973 with the 4850. Dreamweaver doesnt take much int he way of memory but flash may appreciate a bit more than 6GB so you can get another set of OCZ platinum if you want. And if you need extreme reliability pick up a couple more 640GB caviar blacks and throw them in raid 5.

Very Nice!!!can i change my Vga with an nvidia card?which one?

 

[hunter315]

The GTS 250 is equivalent to the 4850 but about $25 more for a 1GB card. The XFX card comes with a better warranty than most and exhausts heat out the back. Im not sure which nVidia card would be equivalent to the 4670
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150356

Any particular reason for nVidia? Does one of the programs you run support CUDA?

 

[iceelf]

nvidia is not necessary for me !
i just want to know !
i will buy hd 4870 !
another question my friend!i do not have any experience to Fix to hard to gather with raid modes!
can you help me?

 

[hunter315]

Im unfamiliar with the X58 chipset and the associated BIOS that goes with it, but you should be able to set up a hardware raid from bios, i dont know the specifics but im sure someone else here does.

 

[iceelf]

what is your suggest if i can use two vga cards crossfire?
4670 is good yet?

 

[hunter315]

That board will support SLI or CF, but a single 4870 will perform sufficiently for your needs, it should be able to handle moderate to high settings and looking at a recent review done on this site, a single 4870 outperforms 2 4670s in CF at 1920x1200 without AA. Either one should work fine for you, but the 4870 only has 1 fan so you should get less noise.

what it means?
is it means that 3850(i know it is old) is better?

 

[hunter315]

Dont look at the synthetic benchmarks, check out the real game benchmarks as they actually give you useful numbers. It also doesnt have the 48xx series listed on there.

 

[redgarl]

I would suggest you getting a core i7 and the cheapest motherboard available.

You don't need the 300$ junk usually glued with the core i7 platform.

A single ATI 4870 should be enough.

Hunter put up an impressive build, but you might want to change the Case to one of these that have better airflow.
