I was just wondering if i should get a 8600gt now or wait for the 8800gt too become cheaper and in stock. I want to know because i want somthing that will not only play the games of today but tommorow as well thanks.

What card do you have now? Looking at your specs, you have other needs as well. 512MB RAM in a gaming machine? You're not gonna play the games of today, tomorrow or even yesterday very well with that amount...lol

i concur sir...need to go ahead and add some Dual Channel 2gb RAM and a better GPU, depending on what card you have now. tax season is approaching soon! may be the right time.

Don't forget a new power supply too

Yeah I know im currently using g965 wich suits me for now using cs:source. I planned on getting another 1gig of ram. Also a decent power supply so thats sorted. Its the graphics im not sure about

Tom's Hardware puts out an article every month detailing "The Best Gaming Graphics Cards for the Money"...here's the most recent:

Thanks for all your responses looks like ill get the 8800gt when the suppliers get stock

It'll probably be bottlenecked by your "weak" CPU.
