    I'm looking at purchasing a new computer, and know I will need to upgrade the video card right away.
    We play a lot of Ages of Empires, Enemy Territory, CSI,... for hours at a time.

    I have had to replace the video card 3 times in the last 6 years in my old comp and am hoping to avoid this with the new comp.

    Any suggestions without having to pay over $300ish?

    Well if your willing to come over to the ATI way of thinking i'm sure you would be more than happy to pay the same amount of cash for more than a GTX 260?

    How about 1GB VRAM instead of 896MB?

    Thats just the start have a look: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102801

    Oh and the best bit is that it's exactly the same price as the GTX 260 and it will last longer. I have this card and it is awesome, but I must warn you, you will need a good power supply. The Sappire website suggests some power supply's that work well, I personally have a coolermaster extreme power duo 650W. Here is the website to take a closer look at the specs: http://www.sapphiretech.com/us/products/products_overview.php?gpid=250&grp=3

    Good luck choosing :-D

    ATI from now on for me, they are better value & better performance.
