Will be building my own rig and looking to get a video card. Not really into running SLi or anything. The system will be a gaming one. Something that will last awhile without having to upgrade.

Out these deals which is the best deal..

The tigerdirect site is down. I was able to access it earlier...

Suggestions?
 
Warhammer, Crysis, WoW, Mass Effect (love it on the 360), Eventually Spore when it comes!!!

As far as resolution goes I will be hooking it up to my 42" vizio. Which can handle rez at 1024x768 thru VGA or 640x480 thru HDMI. I know its not as high as most, but will do until
I can get a better lcd.
 
The 8800GT cards are faster than the 9600GT. edit: at 1024x768, I agree: just get the cheapest option unless you plan on moving the video card later.

I went for the XFX 8800GT from TD. FatCash (3%) and Google check out ($10 off) sweetened the deal to a little under $120 shipped after rebate and discounts.
 
That changes everything. If you'll be gaming at 1080p you'll need a lot more horsepower. Maybe wait 1-2 weeks for the next gen cards to come out either to buy one of them or for previous gen card prices to crash. 9800gx2 might be a pretty sweet deal when the new stuff comes out.
