Upgrade question.

[kevlon]

Hi All

I am looking to upgrade my graphic card and am looking for advice. My current system is as follows.
AMD Athlon 64 3500+
Asus A8N-SLi Board
1GB Memory PC 3200
2 x Gigabyte Nvidia 6600gt (SLi)
Since changing my 17" monitor for a 19" widescreen monitor (1440 x 900 res) games like Call of Duty 2 etc have started to struggle. I have looked at the BFG 7950gt at the OC website but would the rest of my system take advantage of it or would lesser cards like the 7900gt or 7900gs be a better option. I have about £180 to spend and would rather stick to Nvidia cards.

Thanks in advance

Kev

Cheers for the replies,

The OCUK 7900GS sounds like the one for me, anyone got any comments on this card? i.e performance, stability, overclocking potential or SLIing.

The main reason I prefer Nvidia is because I would like to keep my options open for future SLI config. I do understand that ATI presently have the edge over Nvidia. Please understand that I'm no expert in computer hardware so I do appreciate your comments. Would the high end cards 8800, 7950 etc just bottleneck the processor (AMD 64 3500+)?
