I had a Q6600 with 9600 GT and I thought I was good. Now this was years ago and its time to upgrade. I am looking at I5 2500k and Asus Z68 motherboard. I am having trouble deciding a graphics card. There are three things I need help on since I havent kept up with graphics cards. I occasionally play quake3, yes mostly this since I have almost no time and can prob squeeze out 15minutes to play a game of quake 3. I had tried playing crysis on Q6600 and 9600gt and it played fine on medium settings which I am not too fussed over.
What I am looking for is a card from Nvidia which is good on power saving when in idle and does good work when playing games as well as being in the sweet spot of dollar value.
Since I had a 9600 gt I was recently advised by a shop that I no longer have to connect the spdif out from motherboard to graphics card to get audio out of the HDMI connector if I decide to go the HTPC route. He did not mention which cards he was mentioning. Just thought I ask about that while I am asking the above question.....
Hope you guys can help
