    Hey,

    I'm looking for parts to build a new PC. As for graphics cards, I'm thinking of getting the Geforce 7800 GTX 256mb PCI-E 2xDVI VIVO.

    Is it worth getting this card, or are their alternative cheaper cards which work for gaming just as well, or even better ?
    The budget for my PC s £1400 and this card alone costs £369.99.

    Thanks.

    You could get a 6800GT, its still quick, and far cheaper.

    there isnt better than that i dont think.
    cant you just get a 7800gtx, then some half decent cheaper components together and clock it all up to get faster speeds from the other hardware?

    just a thought

    Is Leadtek a decent brand for Graphics card ?
    I have found the same card from Leadtek on Special Offer for £308.

    Leadtek PX7800GTX-TD256 GeForce 7800 GTX 256MB GDDR3 VIVO TV-Out/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail (GX-065-LT) to be exact, or is it worth staying with a brand such as Asus and paying the £60 difference for 'known' better quality.
