i'm planning on getting the "MSI K9N Platinum nForce 570" can someone give me an idea of a good card in the sub £175 price bracket. I will be using it for some gaming, but the most taxing game I currently have in NFS most wanted, and watching DVD's.
Any hadvise would be appreciated

Thanks
Phil

about to buy a new PSU, so am looking at around a 400w one which should offer enought power for what I want

stick with AMD, youl go to heaven and puppy`s will lick your face. if you go with Intel youl make baby Jesus cry.

lol I am sticking with AMD, currently have an AMD system, and very happy with it, only problem is that it's sck 939 which is slowly dying out

i'm not doing it to get better games results, i'm doing this as the card I currently have is AGP. i've had this system for 3 years and staring to show it's age, by the time I spend out on a faster HDD,(currenty using IDE and going up to SATA) and with everything else it's cheaper for me to start again from scratch, which is what i am doing

looks like i've started an argument, sorry guys

that's a gd sence of releif then. sorry to be aquard, about this, me current card is Nvidia 6200 256, which I no isn't powerful but it's a lot better than the card which came with the system which was an ATi 9200SE, it was so rubbish I couldn't run NASA windworld, and that isn't very graphics intensive.

after looking at cards i've chosen the "Connect3D ATI Radeon X1800 XT 256MB" all I need to do is not lost the VGA to DVI connector as i'm still using a CRT
