Please read this first, and then ask questions if you still have them :)

Anyway, if you'd like PS3 like graphics you should raise your budget. You'll need at least an 3850 level GPU, that's the slowest of the relatively fast cards. Everything slower simply won't cut it.

To get PS3-like graphics, grab yourself a HD4870 or GTX 280. Anything less won't cut it. :)

And obviously a Core2Extreme to match those cards.

Or you could put 3 of those GTX280's or 4870X2s if you've really lost your mind and have wacky cooling:dead:

What for?

You can buy the 1060U Tesla rack with four Tesla1060 GPUs, each with 384bit and 4GB of GDDR3, making it a total of 1536bit and 16GB of GDDR3.

That should definately satisfy any hardware cravings you might have for the next 2-4 years.

don't know about 3850 but 9500GT is definitely better than 8600GT.

[gamefreak94]

Basically:
9500GT > 8600GT = HD3650. Given that you buy a 9500GT which has GDDR3
