Im looking at building a pc for gaming with a pentium d 930, and an ASUS P5WD2.
I plan on overclocking the cpu but do not want to OC a graphics card
Power consumption shouldnt be an issue as I am looking at a 550w antec PSU
The games I play are:
CS1.6
DoD
CS:S
very rarely DoD:s
and Quake4
I play all of these games in cal, so its important that I have CONSISTENT high fps in all of them

What would give me the best performance for what I do?
 
x1800xt 512 or 7900gt either of those two...performance difference is slightly in favour of the ati card but the nvidia card is quiter, the ati card also has better iq but the 7900gt has bettew power consumption adn is cooler...

it all depends upon which company you favour...dont quoute me on this but i think (well it used to be) ati cards are faster in cs:s/hl2 than their nvidia counterparts
 
I can go higher, I just dont really want to go above 375 cause above that the price/performance ratio is just stupid

if you can get a 7900gtx or a 1900xt for around that price (which may prove difficult) the 2 cards mentioned are the best and the upgrade will be about 10-15%

You're right the price/performance at that level is stupid....BUT....if you have the money then I say give'er :D
