So, you've lined up your ducks, asked only for Newegg gift certificates, Fallout 3, and set aside a week of sick leave. It's time to buy that new video card.
That leaves picking the video card. If you have $500 go ahead and buy an HD 4870 X2 or a pair of GTX 260s. You have my permission. There's not really any way to screw up with that kind of money, er, unless you for whatever reason think that a GTX 280 is the way to go. I mean, get a GTX 260 and spend the rest of your money on liquor, that's a much more efficient way to forget you had money to spare.
