Hey there forums!
I was just wondering what, in your opinion, is the most powerful card that can run on a good 500w PSU with an AMD Athlon II x4 640 WITHOUT bottlenecking too hard? I'm not looking for price to performance ratio, my budget is pretty generous for this one. I was planning to go with a Radeon 7950 3GB, but I had mixed responses on how hard it would bottleneck. I suppose it would be nice for future-proofing anyways. I (sort of...) would prefer an nVidia card, just for the driver support, but I'm open to whatever card has the most juice for my CPU/PSU!
