Well, I get some chopiness when I play WoW (video lag) so yeah, its mainly for WoW but I also wanna play some FPS (BF2) So you fellas suggest I should hit the 9800pro?

I hear BF2 lags with a 9800 as that is the minimum, I'd try for the 6600 or x700 like posted before

I would wait, imho. Nvidia and ATI are on the verge of releasing their next gen cards, that means pprices are gonna drop. You maybe able to get more for your money.

THERE IS UR CARD SIR
6800 LE for 129.99 G G
Thanks for the link Strung. You chums think this is a good card? At my local comp shop I saw the ATI x700 for 139.99, but I'm not really sure which to pick, the one Strung pointed out or the x700? If I'll get stuck I'll just wait it out I guess like Grip mentioned, but I need a new card baaad
