It's not as easy as "X company is better", though. nVidia makes great cards -- but so does AMD/ATi. It's really down to what price range and even the specific model of the card.

The ati 6790 is not a bad card, its almost the same as a 6850 and gtx 460 1gig in some games.

.... LOOK AT THE SPECS! its overkill to put a 460gtx in there. plus as reflex and i said would be the best idea.

why?

The Q8300 isn't bad at all really.

On par with the lower end Phenom II's, right?

pretty much

probably a bit slower since it is a lower clocked C2Q
