Hello,
I currently have an ATI Radeon 4850HD 512mb GDDR3 and it runs way hot and I am almost afraid to play games since it is idling at over 70 degrees idle now. I am looking to upgrade my computer right now to play games like Starcraft 2 and maybe an MMORPG, like Warhammer or something. I don't need to have the best out there definitely not since I only use a 17' LCD Monitor as well. I am currently using a 4GB PC6400 DDR2, Duo Core 2 E6850 3.0 Ghz and 750W Power Supply. What do you guys suggest, I want nice graphics that will run cool, I don't think an ATI/AMD Radeon is a good choice anymore, it runs too hot, I need something that will run awesome at lower resolutions and runs cool.
