Which one should i buy?

bought the over clocked one

The 8600 is mediocre, but it will be a huge upgrade coming from a 6150.

yeah i am its a new one. At dell i went online and chatted with a repreentive online and they told me i did have a pci-e. The 8800 i didnt have enough power for.

Dont trust big name representatives, all they want to do is sell you overpriced crap, of course im speaking from past experience. :rolleyes:

8600 is an alright card, not like you'll be playing anything hardcore xD

Ya the 8600gt is aight... but nothing hardcore or amazing.

I have a EVGA 8800GT SuperClocked. and i LOVE it. It is very nice.
