Looking for some advice. =]

Jul 24th, 2008

I have a 7900 GTX, as shown in the sig, and I was looking for some upgrading advice. I've been wanting to play Crysis for a while, and need to get ready for DX10. I was looking at 8800 GT's and 9800 GX2 (1g), I really don't know what to get. Also I know the 9800 GX2 needs an 8 pin connector, which my psu doesn't have. Is there an adapter I can get to put on one of my two 6 pin connectors or would I have to get a whole knew PSU?

What do you guys think would be a great GPU for its price, and would last me 2-3 years.

http://www.pcpower.com/accessories/6...n-adapter.html I found this adapter but was looking for one on newegg and couldn't find one. I would like to get it from there becuase that is where I will get the video cards as well.

I'm just really lost as to what kind of high end card to get.
