PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: www.newegg.ca, www.NCIX.com, www.memoryexpress.com

COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: Canada

PARTS PREFERENCES: Any card that will be fairly future proof for my price range

OVERCLOCKING: Yes

CROSSFIRE: IF it is in my budget range or a bit more then sure

MONITOR RESOLUTION: My current monitor is at 1280x1024

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: I want a card that is fairly future proof and can run most games on max settings, If there is anything that I could change to benefit me, that would be awesome!

Also this is probably a stupid question but should I get warranty? If so on what and how long?

THANKS!!
