7900 GT ? 7600 GT? What video CARD

[GeoffRowley]

Fellas, I'm building this new computer and I've ran into this corssroad. What damn video card would be decent enough, and cheap enough.
So far the computer is as follows, it was cheap so go easy.

X2 3800+ at 2Ghz says GT5O56
1 Gb ram dual channel ( good?)
19 LCD 8ms
350 watt PSU
250GB SATA HDD

So far, not to shabby I suppose, but what video card would suit this, I'm hoping around 200 - 300 max CDN, and as most things.. taxes not included. I'm thinking the 7600 GT as I've heard nothing but praise, but also the 7900GT(not the X) was great...if it worked, which has been a problem. I'm really open to any video card, but perferably something of of ncix.com. Theyre like the newegg for canada. Thanks.

Please educate yourself before you make another post, I have no qualms about trashing repeat offenders posts.

Anyways, the 7600GT is a great deal, especially the EVGA one from ncix. Me personally, would buy the 7600GT OC from EVGA (it's about 225) and save your money for something amazing once DX10 and Vista comes out. I own the 7600 GTO C from evga, and it's a wonderful card.

I second this. Plus, a 350w isn't going to be enough for a 7900gt, but a 7600gt ought to work fine.
