Building a new PC and need some advice

Just talked myself into building a new PC this week, and am having trouble picking out a video card. I've built several over the years but havent payed much attention to video cards, and when I searched New Egg for ideas theres sooo many choices. Anyhow I plan for this setup to be a gaming system. WoW, Aion, prolly Crysis. So far the processor will be an AMD 965 Black Edition and probably an Asus crosshair III motherboard with 8gb 1333. Any suggestions for a video card(s) are more than welcome! Budget is $200-$300.

Thanks!!

What resolution? That will handle pretty much anything at high resolutions.

this is a faster and cheaper video card.

huh, it looks like theyve raised the prices of these video cards.

Dont have a link for it, but any opinions on the EVGA 1.7gb 275 card? Seems to be a relatively good card for $299.00 at a local store.

re: Building a new PC and need some advice

not worth it. its a hundred bucks more than the 4890 i linked, and the 4890 is faster than a GTX 275. its speed is comparable to a GTX 285. best of all, the card comes pre overclocked.
