| Which card is better - ATI Radeon 4870 or Nvidia POV 8800GTS
Building my first gaming PC - but can't decide between these 2 graphics cards.
No idea about these kinda things - which one is better?
Thanks. |

The 4870 would destroy the 8800GTS. | |

That looks like a solid system so far.
One thing I would recommend is that you get this drive instead. It's $10 more, but it's faster and 140Gb bigger.
As far as a motherboard, do you plan on overclocking? Do you want something that will support crossfire for later upgrades? | |
