I have the following:
E2160 OCd to 3.2Ghz, 2 gig ram, 7800GT
I am playing Half life 2 at 1920 medium and it runs fine. I was going to get one of the first cards for the 8800GT but missed out by a couple hours. But after thinking about it, I don't really feel the need as i am not going to play with Crysis any time soon as i havn't finished HL2 yet. I want to wait until the next high end comes along and see what it provides and also the X3800. The reason is if I get the 8800GT I will want to get a new case, new PSU (all high end) and use my older hardware that is gathering dust as a server and build, then i would need to spend close to 900.
