No no no... MSI GeForce 9600GT 1GB 256-bit GDDR3. I know that link is NewEgg, I just wanted to give you something to look at in the 9600GT series in the same price range as your XFX. I am sure you can find a 9600 made by the company you wish in your location, but remember, look for that 1g memory, "if" you feel you could use it... 1g memory helps so much with todays high resolution monitors, as in 1680x1050 and if you are running more then one monitor, well 1g makes it that much better.

With staying with a 8800GT you are going backward, not foreword like you should when making a new build.

BUT it goes without saying, "you" do the research and pick what "you" feel is best.

By the time you were done with shipping cost from CP, you could buy a new one.

Well that's what I though at first, let me get the link.

Nevermind can't find it.

But what is basicaly better on the 9000 series is that the 9800 has 512X2 mb, which is well pretty sweet.
Ultra still has better processing, better shader model(maybe the same, don't remember) and faster clocking.
Although I wouldn't mind having a 9800 :D
