Hi guys..
Well, i have brought a processor + memory + mobo.
I am not good at taking decisions, i dunno which i should pick :S
I'm not going to overclock, i'm going to stay at stock values.
Current specs:
PSU C3 Tech Dsa5060 600w (500w real power)
Processor Athlon 64 X2 7750 2.7 BE
Motherboard ECS A740GM - M
Memory Markvision 2GB



HD 4830 is cheaper than HD 4850, but, XFX HD4850 has a bad cooling system, and is better than HD 4830.
Let's see both video cards:
HD 4830 Sapphire

XFX HD 4850

MSI HD 4850

Sapphire HD 4850


Specs of each video card.
HD 4830:
Price: US$ 130
Brazilian price: R$ 350,00
Core Clock: 575 MHz
processor clock: 575 MHz
Stream processors: 640
Memory Clock: 900 MHz
Memory withdraw rate : 57,6 GB/s
Memory: 512 MB GDDR3


Now, the HD 4850
Price: US$ 160 – 200
Brazilian Price: XFX: 380,00, MSI: R$370, Sapphire: R$385
Core Clock: 625 MHz
Stream processors: 800
Memory Clock: 993 MHz
Memory Interface: 256 bits
Memory withdraw rate: 63,5 GB/s
Memory: 512 MB GDDR3

I'd go with XFX. They are reliable manufacturers of graphic cards from my experience. ;)
