He chose ati and I pointed him at the most powerful model for under $200.
Just because a range is better, why does that make me a fanboy? The best card to get right now when price and performance is taken into account is the ATI 5850. And that's because Nvidia don't have a new card on the table.... not because i'm a fanboy.
I go with whatever is best at the time, and fits a specific budget.

The last few times I bought ATI I always ended up having problems with the card. I am not saying that ATI is crap. I just had the bad luck to buy lemons.

OK, chatted with him again last night. Everything ordered, and he went with the HIS 4890 that Donzi linked up. It was a better price and faster core than the one he had on his wish list, so that was a no brainer.
I would have liked to have added the 5850 for $60 more, but we had already gone $30 over budget and that was not good. I do like the parts ordered, and I'm sure he will get a lotta gaming out of it for the money.
Sad part is he finally has a PC faster than what I run. Not that it bugs me, as my interests are changing, but I will eventually build a new rig next year and put him in his place again.
