Dont waste your money on a ti 4600 whatever you do. I recently joined a couple of other forums. These are computer related discussion boards.

who bought a ti 4600 wish they had waited on the ti 4200. The ti 4200 will more than adequitely run ANY game made today and will still be recognised as top of the line (or near) quality for at least the next 2 years, probably 5.

The ti 4200 has almost the same frame rate at the ti 4600 at HALF the cost. To spend money on the ti 4600 is OVERKILL or ego based insanity

The benchmarks speak for themselves. You can overclock the ti 4200 to near ti 4600 speeds. So why spend the money? The ti 4200 is literally HALF the price. JMO but if you buy a ti 4600, youre nuts.

Yes definitely get a bigger power supply. Many of the members at HotHarware recommend 400 watts or higher to make sure your system never lacks juice. The Geforce 4 ti cards suck it up.

Most of the other stuff in your unit will be covered by more than just the sellers warrantee. Asus ti cards all come with a lifetime warrantee. (unless im dreadfully mistaken)

I think the MSI cards only come with a 3 year warrantee. Ive been looking and dont see how long their warrantee is.

The first link there is for the best ti4200 MSI makes. Its got all the extra hardware you would need for Video in/out. Scope em out [img]smile.gif[/img]
