firstly, something new and exciting for this forum, im building myself a new computer and its really needed because mine is from 10 years ago from the time of single core processors.. and run wow on all low settings at under 10fps in towns:P
ive decided to go for an i5 2500k build.. now to my question, i have been doing a bit of research and am getting a bit confused with all the number naming of the graphics cards because they dont always go in order (i.e. bigger number dont always mean better cards, for example radeon 4870>5750) so i was wondering if someone could make a list of good nvidia and radeon cars in terms of how good they are for gaming and then maybe recommend me one that matches the processor well (dont want one bottlenecking the other).. i was thinking of the 5850.. im not on a very large budget but it is flexible (thinking around the equivalent of $1000 maybe a one ore two hundred more)
