    Question GPU Advice for Gaming-heavy Rig

    .
    I've got a really capable (too capable ) "hardware consultant" handy, who is always updated on new toys and, with his well rooted knowledge on basic electronics, their relative compatibility. He's been building up my and bro's new computer. However, he's got one major flaw: He ain't no gamer and has absolutely no idea on it!

    Therefore, I'm asking the most valuable advice of fellow gurugahs on the best affordable gaming GPU that could keep me afloat for a couple years at least. Below are the two draft configurations we've been considering. TIA

    • Intel option
      • Intel Q8200 Core 2 Quad 2.3 GHz.
      • ASUS P5QC mobo
      • 4G 1333 DDR3 RAM
    • AMD option
      • AMD Phenom II 810 X4 AM3 938 pin Quad Core 2.6 GHz.
      • Gigabyte MA790 FXT-UD5P DDR3 938 pin mobo
      • 4G 1333 DDR3 RAM
