8600gts, but a tip: for games like cs the cpu is much more important if u want high fps;) graphic cards sure do play a big role when it comes to fps but put some more money on ur cpu and motherboard:D

dont buy ati radeon graphic cards -.-' Im experiencing to much trouble with them. Paid 350â‚¬ for a graphics card that just killed itself after a year (x800), then I got a new one (x850pro) and it makes problems again. My brother also got a Radeon Sapphire card (x1???) and is experiencing graphic errors and stuff....But I dont want to boycott anyone, so think for yourself - It's jsut what im experiencing

Yea, I bought x800 2 years ago and had A lot of troubles with it... So I returned it and took slower gf 6600gt pci-e but with no problemos.. I know it's just my case but I prefer gf.
