Need Video Card Suggestions

[frenchbuck]

My PNY Nvidia TI4400 card has died after only 2 years of use. I need a new video card but I don't have lots of money to invest. I'm looking in spending about $200.00. Any advise would be appreciated.

Nivdia GeForce 6800LE about

Okay! I'm ready to invest in the best card, although I'm using now the 9800 pro 128 MB I want to get me the best!

Now I see the 6800 ultra is top of the list, but what about RAM is it a 128card or a 256card?

what exactly do I need in order  to max everything up?

It is 256MB, although 512MB are to be released soon.

Careful when buying the top of the chart Video card. Most often u will need a more powerful power supply and some require you have 12 volts available from the card to the power supply!!..300-350 Watts just dont hack it anymore for the top of the line cards..Best to go for 400-500 Watt Power..Check the cards out first before ya spend all your money on the card and then need a better power supply...huh?

Although a 350W-400W PSU from Antec or Enermax will be able to cope fine.

Yah I got me the 6800 ultra and now I need A new power supply, the problem is witch one?!

The card wants 2 separate cables that are connected to nothing else in the the system      

So I need a power supply that will have 3 mains so 2 of them will go to the card and the third one should have enough power to handle all the others:

3 HARD DRIVES
SCSI 15k-rpm HARD DRIVE
DVD
CDRW
ZIP
FLOOPY
Number of cooling fans

Please devise me witch PSU will work the best, I will spend one's to have A GOOD SET UP

Antec truepower 480w or higher. My 480w one runs my setup just fine.
