i found a

VGA 512MB PCI-E SAPPHIRE HD 4870 

VGA 512MB PCI-E XFX 9800GTX (is this from nvidia? lol)

 

 

 Both cards are good but the 4870 is a lot better (about 40% faster) than the 9800GTX.

How much each of them cost?

 

 1400 pesos( around 450 dolars) 4870 cheaper than the 3870x2

1800 pesos ( around 600 dolars) 9800gtx

 

forgot: cpu costs 950 pesos, around 300 dolars

motherboard costs 1400 pesos, around 450 dolars

Definately get the 4870, its got great single GPU performance and its definately the best pick out of all those options.

 

Yes.

Bolshak, you write the prices in a confusing way, but as I understand it:

GTX 295: 1000 dollars
3870x2: 800 dollars
4870: 450 dollars
9800GTX: 600 dollars

Wow, hardware cost A LOT in Argentina! But the 4870 has a good price (for being Argentina)- easily the best choice out of those 4 cards.

The CPU Phenom 9850: 300 dollars is a good price for you.

But the motherboard (MSI K9N2 Diamond, nForce 780a SLI, DDR2) costs a lot... 450 dollars. It has a built in nice sound card, but you should try to get a cheaper motherboard if you can.
