Help with new system

[TheMeekon]

Hi all

Not posted for a long time but I am in need of some help. Not looked at anything PC wise for a long time due to using Macs but my Macbook pro (Feb 2008) is just not cutting it to run Age of Conan with some eye candy.

I am wanting to run AoC on my HD TV at 1920 x 1080 with most of the eye candy turned up. I will also be using it for my HD rips and some 3D work.

I have a Stacker case, spare 200Gb, HD Hiper 560w PSU already.

I need:

CPU - Intel
GFX - Nvidia
Memory - 4GB
Motherboard

Soundcard with Digital out to my amp - This can wait for now but a reccomendation would be nice.

Budget is around £500 but my girlfriend would be happier with £400 :s.

Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction. Thanks in advance!

Thanks for that, ws kind of what I was thinking of but rather the 8800GTX as I thought the 9800 was meant to be a bit of a under performer?

By the looks of it I will wait till the new cards or pick up a 8800Gt and wait for the price to come down in August.

Would a 8800 GT be able to handle 1920 x 1080? Obvsiouly no AA but I still want high settings in AoC.

Can anyone recommend a good bluetooth/wireless keyboard and mouse to purchase outside this budget? Probably £100 for both.

Thanks again
