Hello I am building this new i7 - win 7 - liquid cooled computer right now but need assistance on figuring out which would be the best of the vid cards to choose.

I am a true gamer my husband and I usually have between 6-10 game subscriptions going per month on online games alone not to mention other types of games. Here are the options they have with this build please advise

they are all 1 gb cards
Nvidia
4650
4670
4850
4870
4890
5750
5770
5850
5870
G-force
gt220
gt240
9400gt
9500gt
9600gt
9800gt
gts250
gtx275
gtx285
gtx295

So so many options I am looking at what my best options are either using 1 or 2 cards Thank you so much
 
Pick ya budget and head here:

The 5970 is not in that list but it just eclipsed the 295 as "top dog" ... goes for $625 for one, $1250 for 2. The 260 is also missing and should be compared with the 4870 and 5770.

Decide whether or not PhysX is something you're into as that will require at least one nVidia card (and Win7) in the system.
