Hello everyone!

I was just wondering what video card i should buy to best match the bf series, im also looking to buy a new motherboard and power supply but first, what video card should i buy my range is 100-200 CAD. Currently i have a radeon saphire 9600XT. But as i hear its getting out dated. So I think i want to head more towards nvidia this time. So what is my "best buy" ? I was wondering if anyone could recommend a power supply and a mother board and im getting a new sound card and im getting the Creative X-fi , is that a good card?, thx guys,alex

Shoot for at least a 7600GT.

If you want motherboard reccomendations you're gonna need to tell us what CPU you want to use.

As for a PSU, get a 500w or better from a good brand like Antec, Enermax(Liberty line is good), FSP, PC Power & Cooling or OCZ.

If you are getting a new MB buy an Ati X850 XT PE.  I'm using a X850 Pro, which is a bit worse than the PE and I run all in high with res 1024 x 768 (just for the monitor 17" LCD) and I get 60-100 fps all the time, so the PE will do better.  It costs around 150.  Check this site anyway and compare all the cards adviced, hope it helps.

Buy the PSU and Mobo first - then you get the graphic card.

Immagine this. You buy a really espensive AGP card say a 7800 for £230 - then you buy a PCI-E mobo you could of got a better card for £170

Then you are stuck with a 7800 AGP which is hard to sell.

Don't forget Hiper, and Thermaltake. They make awesome PSU's aswell.
