APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: This week preferably
BUDGET RANGE: $150-250 After Rebates ($250 being an extremely good deal)
USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: Mostly gaming. I'd like to be able to play the next Borderlands game (recommended GeForce GTX560) and the recent Wolfenstein game
CURRENT GPU AND POWER SUPPLY: EVGA GeForce 9800 GTX+ with an Antec EA-650 power supply
OTHER RELEVANT SYSTEM SPECS: Intel i3 processor, Gigabyte GA-P55A-UD3 mobo, 4 gb ram. Case a few fans (2 in front, one on the side panel, one on top and one in back
PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: I'd be fine with newegg, but also wouldn't mind going out to get one at stores like Fry's (Houston, TX) or other computer parts stores
PARTS PREFERENCES: I'd like to stay with Nvidia unless I have a convincing counter
OVERCLOCKING: Not necessary
MONITOR RESOLUTION: 1920x1080
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: If possible I'd like fans on the card itself just to make sure we stay cool. GDDR5 would be nice in case I upgrade the rest of the rig later and don't want to have to worry about the graphics card upgrading as well. Also, anything I can do not to bottleneck myself (aside from investing in a new processor/mobo) would be appreciated. Thanks in advance to whoever chimes in here
