how much is it costing you? and where are you buying from. I would save up though tbh the 8600gt is a disapointing card.

How about a 3850 pro might fit your budget? although I see your point on the Power Supply Unit

yeah the 3850 is only 30 euro more. but what is the Power Supply Unit requirement?
i dont want to save up, ive been dying to just PLAY games, i really dont mind about maxing out.
huge difference to my current 7300le!!

I will say this . The 8600GT will play new games but only at a basic level as you do not wish to save and want it now your options are small I just hope your not disapointed good luck Call of Duty 4 modern warfare is one to play mate

i think il pass on cod 4. i dont have good enough internet for multilplayer. i think il have to go with the 8600gt, it'll do me for a couple of months at least. i need to catch up on the games of the last year or two.
