What kind of card would you recommend for mid and high? I would prefer to have a Nvidia card but if the savings are enough I would go ATI.
To be honest, I haven't played games on my PC for some time When my job turned into working on computers all day, I started drifting to my couch (and the dark side) when I got home. Therefore, I'm not up to date with the newest videocards like I used to be fanatical about.

I still have a powerful crossfire rig using dual unlocked 6950s though. For the Q6600, something like that 5850 (again has some good overclocking headroom) would be okay.
