OK, I have a question. Im building out a machine for the little brother of a friend. He has anywhere from $150-$250 for the video card, but I dont want to go overboard. He doesnt play anything more demanding than WoW, and doesnt really play shooters at all, though I could see him possibly picking them up now that he'll actually have a machine capable of playing them. Id also like the machine to last as long as possible--he won't likely be able to build another one for several years. What card would you buy? Obviously the first answer is to jump on a vanilla 6800, but Im afraid that may be overkill, and like I said, I dont want to spend too much of his money.
Im going with a PCI-E board for future upgradability, so the card has to (obviously) be PCI-E.
Thanks!
