Building a budget machien and im looking at either the 8600GTS or 7950GT. I am having a hard time finding any stores left in stock with the 7950GT but have foudn them on ebay for 165$ shipped. What are my best options in this price range and links are much appreciated! Also whats up with the 8600GTS SSC edition? Is it closer to 7950GT performance then the regular GTS?

if you can srping for an HD2900GT, I'd recomend it.
if not.... welll then an 8600 is your best bet, imho.
and heres an excellent tool for compairing video cards. It'l bring up all the hard numbers as well as a massive archive of reviews.
edit: oh rofl you already bought, alright. Actually I might cancel the order, certainly for what your paying for the 7950GT off the bat, I think the 2900GT is a much better value. But its up to you.

From what im reading it looks like the 7950GT is just as fast as the 2900GT if not faster in some cases. The card im getting for 159.99 is a hair cheaper then the 2900GT and has 512mg memory. I dont think its worth canceling the order but if for some reason They tell me this card is not in stock ill try the ATI card out.
