Hi I am looking for a graphics card for my first build :D

Spec:

asus p5kpl-am epu
cpu (Hopefully it will be a q6600 slacr malay or a standard one)
4gb ram sticks (Hopefully)
1tb hard drive or x2 500gb hard drives
arctic cooling freezer 7 pro rev 2
Psu still deciding :D

I want to play BF3, WoW, And most latest games, Watching films, internet browsing, youtube,ebay listing items etc

Is it poss to have hdmi, vga, dvi ports? or can i just get a adapter from vga or dvi to hdmi??

I did have the complete components to make one but members told me to get differant parts as it will last me longer, as i got a 700w psu for £20 alpine psu.

I have a card but it's a silent one mostly used for films, and because i wanted to play games as well.

No reason building it around the 775, it's just what the board was?

Any other cards you would suggest, i can probably go to £100 soon. on a graphics card

cheers Luke

Ram will be ddr2 pc2-6400
 
1028x1028, it's a hp pavilion f1273 monitor.

Instead of buying a monitor seperatley on the bay, i bought a complete pc for £30, and i think i might do the same again so i can get a 19 inch screen not sure on res though
 
I have the board already i bought this ages ago.

I have not decided on a budget tbh, I just feel what i can afford and which parts etc.

Not amused. I suggest he could consider getting i3 2100 build around a £50 budget board, not something high-end like 2500K on a £150 board, and with money saved on the memory since 4GB DDR3 ram is half the price of 4GB DDR2 ram. Also, a i3 2100 would be WAY faster than a Q6600 in WOW since the game pretty much only use 1~2cores, and even faster than a Q6600 overclocked to 3.6GHz with all 4 cores used in games like BF. A stock speed Q6600 at stock speed would deliver horrible performance in WOW. Also with the lower power consumption of the i3 2100, there's lower chance of that £20 700W generic PSU going pop as well.


Try to find a 9800GT/9800GTX+ or GTS250 for around the same price if you can.

Just read your other thread...didn't realise you don't have much money to spend since you didn't mention budget in this thread.

With that said, PSU upgrade is a MUST, but I think you already know that. I would recommend getting the Corsair CX430 V2 for around £30. Also, stick with you existing board and grab a 2nd hand Q6600 (should be around £500-£60).

I trying googling your monitor, but didn't really come back with spec. I did find a photo of the monitor, and from the look of it it should be a 17" 4:3 ration 1280x1024 res monitor I think? For that res either anything at 8800GT/9800GT 512MB or above would be fine, but if you want dx11 support, pick up a 6670 instead, which cost just £60~ new.
