OK, so you guys directed me to get the Radeon HD4850 card, awesome.

Now I noticed that it will work better on a PCI Express 2.0 version.

The current motherboard im about to buy (Gigabyte GA-35-DS3L) doesn't support PCI E 2.0 BUT if ill add about 25$ I can buy a better motherboard (Gigabyte GA-EP43-DS3L) and this motherboard do support PCI E 2.0 as well as I get some other\better\more updated stuff, as well as getting a overall more updated motherboard.

So you guys think ill should go with the P35 or add 25$ and get the EP43?

Do you even have to ask? Pay the extra. It's not that much more to pay, but you get more performance-wise.

Err this really is a no-brainer. I say do it!

Well, as well as asking this I checked if people will say things like "Don't buy it, its buggy", or "its a crap, don't touch it"

As well I thought maybe people will say that the PCI e 2.0 doesn't change much performance...


So it worths it you say...

PCI-E 2.0 doubles your data transfer rate, so yeah, it does A LOT performance-wise. You'd be stupid not to take that deal.
