heres a chart to show you how to pick your cards, its sortof a comparison between both brands - nvidia and ati tells which card compares to what of the opposite brand

NISSAN is right dude,the 8800GTS is the next gen card "THE DX 10" dude!!! & its wayyyyyy better than X1950 iceQ3.WIth X1950 u will have that DX10 taste & one more thing is that ATI used to have was FSAA+HDR simultaneously,which nVidia was lacking in 7 series.But 8800 can do the same thing with Dx10 also.Overall its better to get 8800 & it can run all games like Rainbow Six:Vegas,Command & conquer 3 & all the latest games.
So grab it Buddy!!!

according to gooooooooogle: 1 British pounds = 1.9312 U.S. dollars
so lets say its a 1:2 ratio.
8800gts 320 mb costs = 299.99 (279.99 after rebate)
if you compare the 2= acordinsg to gooooooooooooooogle : 300 U.S. dollars = 155.343828 British pounds

The GeForce 8800 GTS seems like a really nice card from what I've researched about it...but I wouldn't go for the 640MB version...its too much money for a very small performance difference...the 320MB card is a better choice.

He is right dude the 2 from BFG has a price difference of $110 so 320 MB should be a better pick compared to performance.

all you need is a decent motherboard with a PCIEx16 slot and a high enough power supply
i would recommend 550w

i have a 500W psu, and a pci-e x16 slot.
will the 500 be enough?
also, will my amount of RAM or proccessor affect it, becuas ei habe 1.5GB ram, and 3.06GHZ pentium 4 proccessor.

To check this link

This says a 320 MB version needs 425 Watts PSU,but there are other things too.So the best thing is get the card & check it on ur current PSU & if it doesn't work,then buy a bigger PSU.There is no need to waste the money.If u r saying u have 500 Watt PSU,i think it should work.
Well one of a user is having config.
AMD X2 5200, 2GB ram, MB ASUS M2N-E SLI NF500 SLI AM2 and 450 Power Supply.He is not having any problem.
