Im not sure whether to keep my 7800gtx and ditch the graphics, if i do go for the graphics it will be an ATI card because i just find the IQ nicer

Im assuming that this would fit in my current case which is an old coolmaster 201, yes they really dont make them like this anymore

I've owned ATI cards since 9550 and I also found that the ATI had better IQ but I really can't notice any difference with the 8 series Nvidias. The below is cheaper and a lot more powerful:

Thanks but is that because the 8800 has better IQ or the ATI is worst. I had 4 gig of ram before but your spec only has 2

Also what do we think about keeping my 7800gtx for the time being would this bottle neck
