For the price the ATI card is very competitive with what NVIDIA has. Just make sure you don't pay more than $200 for it. The NVIDIA 9600GT and 8800GT are also good buys in that price range. I'd personally replace the Q6600 with an E8400. It's more efficient and with current games and programs you'll have a better advantage with the higher clock speed over the extra cores. Either that or wait for the 45nm Quad cores which should be out in a few weeks.

im gonna stick with the q6600 as its more future proof, but thanks for the suggestions.

 

The ATI was a bargain so i got it, was £80, so thought i would pick it up, as its very cheap for its performance.
