I'll be buying a new graphics card to finish off my new build but I need a few suggestions before doing so.
I'm not a gamer at all but I am good for buying about one or two games a year. I have 2 8800GTS's in SLI right now and have basically settled on the EVGA 560ti as my upgrade. I'm currently looking for suggestions on which one to buy.
