I'm going down to my tech store and I'm going to buy a new GPU, what's the best option for price/quality? And if you know, how much more strain will it put on my PSU compared to an 8600 GT.
Specs?
It all depends on your price range. The best price/performance card right now is the ATI 4850. What is your PSU's wattage?
4 Gigs of RAM, 3 Ghz dual core AMD 6000+, 380W stock PSU. ASUS M2N-E SLI MB.ebug9 wrote:

I'd like to stick with Nvidia because I'm a fan boy, and my price range is up to around $200. (Because I'll probably buy a CoolerMaster 550W PSU so I can use the damn thing)
Eventhough you're an Nvidia fanboy, I'd really recommend this card. Best price per performance.

That'll leave you some cash for a new PSU which you'll need no matter which brand you choose.

Okay, that's the only Radeon card they actually sell in my price range. It's $189 for generic, 207 for Gigabyte and 208 for ASUS.ebug9 wrote:

From what I understand this will only matter if I'm OCing/want a nice logo.
How big is this thing btw?
ATI 4850...(make sure your case has the room) and at least a 500watt name brand psu...( I have had good luck with Antec)
The power supply is the most important thing... a suspect power supply will give you random issues that can drive you nuts...lol... (I know)

Love is the answer
All those ones sound overpriced. Can you not order it on Newegg? $139.99 after MIR is a steal.Hakei wrote:

And is the choice of PSU okay?
Yeah that PSU should work.
tbh stay away from coolermaster
I have the 500watt version of that PSU and the fan failed within 4months~ causing permanent damage to my GPU
