Hi, I currently have an 8600gt (down in my sig) and I want to upgrade to the best new card I can get. I have like 70$ right now and am planning on getting about 130$ during the next month to month and a half. So could anyone recommend a good card for about 150-200$. I have an Asus P5N-D 750i motherboard (has 2 PCIe 2.0 slots for 16x 16x SLI) and the rest is down in my sig. I am planning on playing games like the Half-Life 2 series, TF2, COD 4, Company of Heroes, Guild Wars, and other games of the sort. I'm not planning on going SLI, but if you recommend a card around 150$ then I might SLI later if someone can give me a good reason to do it. So any advice would be helpful.

Stick it out for ATi's 4000 Series and Nvidia's 9900 whatever they are going to call it series.

By the time he has the money the HD 4000 Series will be out.
Come back and ask this when you have the money. Things change every day.

QFT. If you need a card now, with $70, you won't get much farther than you already are. But you can get a 9600GT or an 8800GT for around $150 to $200.
Yeah, the 8600GT is starting to show signs of age, really lame considering the 7600GT lasted for almost 2.5 years before showing it's age, not less that 1 year.
