    Yeah, DiceAir said it.

    If we don't know what your price-range is, there is nothing we can do for ya.

    Pretty much around or below 300 would be the budget, forgot to add that in

    Go p67 sandy bridge. Better chips better ram management plus the mobos are starting to ship again.
    The gtx 570 is pretty good but if yu get the radeon 6950 and flash it with the 6970 bios it will be slightly better than a 570 for cheaper.

    I'm hoping you mean R3000... not R300...
    The choice is pretty small and pitiful in that range.

    None of em will be good for gaming btw.
    At least not any titles over the last 2 years at anything higher than minimum settings, and even then, expect massive lag.

    Pick your poison.
    Yes they are equal enough.
    Yes one is better than the other at X game, and the other at Y game.
    Yes one is better at low-res, and the other at high-res.
    Yes the one performs better with multi-card setup than the other.

    Essentially, as a single-card setup, they are equal enough.
    As a possible future upgrade to SLi/CrossFire; Go with ATi.
