Nvidia and ATI (AMD) both have GPU's that are made for games and video editing. Neither brand is "the best" for this or "the best" for that. ;)

[quote=WelcomeToAwesomeness]I would say nvidia is the leading GPU maker, or at least one of the top ones.[/quote]

Says who? 

Anyway, you're going to have to give a price range Eddie.]]></content>

Just do some research on Intel and NVIDIA and find out how much dosh you'll need for the best graphics card for you.]]></content>

I said for gaming. Yes, I know that Adobe supports Nvidia, but that does not make Nvidia the leading GPU maker.]]></content>

*sigh* For gaming, they are both the same unless you are getting something like a GTX580, HD6990 or GTX590(basically, extremely expensive graphic cards). They both have graphic cards that compete with each other at the same price point and performance. You have to look at GPUs that suit your budget. The above statement is very ignorant thing to say.]]></content>

If MONIES is not an issue, the sky it the limit. Also, the best performance would be watercooled :P

Srsly though, I wouldn't buy a computer. Build one. I see your XPS 8300 and think "you could get a nice rig for $700." It's a lot better in the sense that you can customize it to your exact needs, be it gaming or graphic design. Hit me up through PM or chat and I could try my hand at design a rig for you.]]></content>

Great you are getting a tower that will allow you to have a real graphics card. I have an NVIDIA GPU and I would highly recommend them. NVIDIA is the leading GPU company and they have deals with AutoDesk, Adobe, Valve and more companies for hardware acceleration with their GPU's. I have a GeForce GT 440 and it works great. Make sure your computer can run what ever graphics card you get. I have a GeForce GTX 480 which was one of last years top of the line graphics cards and I cannot use it in my computer because a it takes a kilowatt power supply. So do some research and make sure you get a good GPU for you.]]></content>
