PS: 600W, OCZ, StealthXStream, ATX2 v2.2, 140mm vent.

I'm planing to get this configuration but I'm torn between the VGA listed above and the

Would you help me decide please?

Also what games do you intend to play and at what resolution and if you want to play games with PhysX on get the GTS250 (Nvidia only feature).
Hope it helped.

look at reviews of these cards, the GTS250 is about the same in perofrmace I would say as the HD4850 as the GTX++ was not as fast as the HD4850 anyway

Hd 4850 is the best for its price.no doubt about it.
