I currently have a BFG 8800GT OC 512mb in my PC and the specs are the following on the PC.
Windows 7 64bit
Intel Core 2 Quad (Q6600)
4 GB Ram @ 800mhz
500gb + 1 TB HDD's.
I'm trying to take advantage of the MPE in Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 by upgrading my video card. I don't want to go overkill on a card if my processor will bottleneck and I've maxed out the ram on the mainboard.
I was looking at a Zotec GTS 250 but I've found two different models at a large price difference or the 9800GT for considerably less money.
$169.99 (CAD)

or the BFG 9800GT at Tiger Direct for $114.99
I'm not really sure what the best option is for me or if there is a different nVidia card I can use for around the same price range?
I'm new here and any help would be greatly appreciated.
