You will hear hype, you will see hype, you might be infatuated with a lower-priced card, but you get what you pay for. Video card prices vary hugely. Being a gamer, just make sure it works with your system before you buy it and spend as much as you can. If it's a little too fast for your system, that's usually okay especially if you can take it to your next system (new systems usually come with slow video cards) and you end up with the option of buying a system that has slow integrated video and at least one available PCI Express video card slot. By the way, you might want to seek advice in the home built PC group and may be in first-person shooter (FPS) groups since they know about high-performance video card usage. Supreme Commander is probably significantly heavier on a CPU than an FPS. I would look to see whether my mainboard can handle a significantly faster CPU, now or later. Good luck.
