PSU and grahpics

i look for PSU later on but i need to focus on graphics cards. that can run GTA4, Crysis, Fallout3, FarCry2 games that are coming out these days. Any advice, Im thinking about a card between 100-150, any ideas?
 
What resolution will you be playing at? Anything less than 1685 x 1050, that 4850 chaos linked to will be fine.
 
Get the Radeon HD 4850 that Chaos suggested. It's only $165, and it comes with a free copy of Clear Sky - how can you not get it?
 
Just a question but why not get a phenon II rig? They are rock solid processors and are a lot cheaper than i7s. If you did that you could afford a better videocard.
 
Just as a note which I haven't mentioned before:

I run a 8600GT (as I said) and run it at 1900x1200 and it runs almost any game fine at that res. Crysis included.

i would say do not move to AMD. they are behind in technology and if you want the best, you will stick with intel for right now.

in terms or motherboard you might want to take a look at this bad boy
