Don't go for the FX. Don't go for the 8600 now in fact, either. Given that you can get very solid 8800 cards for around $200, this should be your only choice. Sure you might have to buck up a little , but trust me on this: you'll regret not spending an extra hundred bucks or so on a card that is infinitely better. I made a mistake a few years ago with buying an FX5200 card instead of spending a little more on a "real" video card. Never again!
