Haha yah, and 8800 gt or gts will do, games dont require shit atm cuz no decent company wants to redesign a video game for a computer cuz the consolefag fans ruin it :-) and most games dont use a cuda type of technology so they still use the cpu to spit our frames so make sure ur pc is bottlenecked

my top gpu recommendation goes to the 4870, having said that I would wait a couple of weeks before buying ( 5850 ) couse amd is likely to do pricecuts in it's higher tier and those often trickle down.
