Best Video Card for Q8300 @ 2.5ghz

[moedirty]

Hello, I was wondering whats the best video card I could get without bottlenecking my computer.

I have a Q8300 CPU @ 2.5ghz
6 Gb DDR2 6400 Ram (max I can hold is 8 Gb)
600W PSU
1280x960 Resolution
240 GTS (Currently)

I have enough room for a card that may hog up 2 pci slots, and I have Two 6-Pin connections

Depends on the game, if it's more CPU intensive than it would bottleneck more. But when it's GPU intensive it will bottleneck less.

And I think this would be fine:

If you start seeing bottlenecks you can overclock the CPU a bit and you should solve your problem.

Good luck and have a good day .

probably a card less powerful than that 6870 as the resolution is low and his cpu is pretty slow so I'd say something like a 6770.

Oh yeah, I didn't notice that. At that resolution 6770/6790 will be enough.
