The ATI beats the 8600GT in everyway. However, if you don't mind horrible drivers, then get the 3650

The GeForce is by far a nicer card but, the other one is cheaper and has more VRAM. So I really don't know I guess listen to the advice above.

Hey,
You should get the 8800GT, you can play all the latest games on the Highest Settings, besides crysis. I have an XFX 8800GT and love it. Its $60 over your budget but you should get a cheaper mobo instead and get this card. A vid card is more important than a mobo.

Abit's the best mobo out of there, then the ds3.

...

AMD beats NVIDIA? This isn't 2005... I'd say save your money, get a 8800gs (apparently a 9600gto now...), get a e6550 or whatever, and oc the crap out of it. Get the GSKILL RAM: it's cheaper and better. Case is meh, but whatever. Please god tell me you have a 500+ watt good powersupply to run this, and you're not getting a 5 dollar one from newegg, or with the case

Do you already have a powersupply? The case you link to does not include one.

A plus for this case in my book is the size of the fans - 120mm don't need to spin as fast resulting in a quieter overall system. My last build was all about keeping things quiet.

I agree with krackhead's suggestion of the 8800GTS, it has a great performance/price ratio.

unless it has 30amps on the 12v rail, and a reliable brand, you need a new one.

The 8800GTS has twice the balls of the 8600GT for an extra $20 and it kills the Radeon 3650.

The review below of the 3650 has numbers on a lot of other video cards included - granted the 8800 GTS in the review has more memory, but that won't bring the one I linked down to the level of an 8600 or 3650

Anything without a extra power adapter... so at the best, a 8600gt.

Still, I don't think it could run that...
