Hi guys, I haven't been on here for a long time, but I need a recommendation.
My eVga 8800GTS 640mb decided to crap out on me after only 5 1/5 years (!) and needs to be replaced.
Specs:
Asus P5B-E Plus mobo (p965 chipset. PCIe 1.1 afaik, so compatible with at least PCIe 2?)
Antec Neo HE 430 PSU
Intel Core 2 6600 @ 2.4gHz, 2 gb RAM
Monitor res 1280x1024
I wont be OC'ing.
Prefer nVidia.
Now, this rig is obviously ooold, but I've got some decent gaming from it (SC2, Mass Effect 2, Dragon Age, Fallout 3, etc) and I would like to get something with a similar or better performance than the 8800 GTS.
Concerns: Power requirements and compatibility. Budget? I guess anything above $200 would be overkill for this rig?
I'm admittedly totally out of the loop, but hopefully you guys have some suggestions.
Thanks.
