    Old case, new mobo, new vid card D-:

    Well, I'm finally starting to plan on building a new system after getting several replies about whether I should buy a new video card or start upgrading completely. Here is what it has come down to. Now I just need to know what would be an ADEQUATE video card. It doesn't have to be the TOP OF THE LINE 5900 or 9800Pro. A nice 9500Pro would do. But what are your opinions? And what would you do with a system like the one I have planned for (at least for right now)???

    Thanks.
    RUNNER!

    easy, get some dual channel ddr400 ram and throw in a 9500 pro if you can find one, or look around to try and get a 9700 non pro for about $200(i woudnl't pay more for one) and you'll have a nice little system quite easily capable of HL2 and doom 3
