Good Video Cards Under $300?

[The Brick]

Ok, so maybe spend $70 on a new mobo and the rest to a gfx card. Since your cpu isn't that great, I'd suggest a Geforce 6600GT. Then spend the money that you save on some RAM.

or you could always go to pricewatch.com...but it only delivers to the US i think

The Brick, you're not getting it are you? This guy is pretty effing computer illiterate, so telling him to buy a new motherboard is a bad idea. He should just save the money towards something else man.

 

[UltimaApocalypse]

Heh, I got mine for $25(plays Half Life 2 Really Well)

 

[Gambneto]

Dumb Dude that name pretty much suits you.

All i wanted was some advice on what pci video card I could buy not to be called effing computer iliterate.

All he means is you arn't entirely knowledgeable of how to build and take apart computers, it was nothing against you. Rather he was simply telling "The Brick", that telling you to buy a new motherboard is:
1) Not what your asking
2) You probably wouldn't entirely know what goes into getting a new motherboard so everythings compatible.

Aww man, I'm sorry if you took offence to that, but I was merley saying that I'm sure you wouldn't want to go to through trouble of getting a new mother board and possibly a new case and moving all your stuff over. I mean thats way too much hassle when all you really wanted was to know which video card would suit you. And as I have said before, without a new computer you really can't go anywhere with your current setup. Newegg has some pretty decent pre-builts at pretty decent prices if you are willing to get another computer.

If you are still looking for a PCI card, this is the best one you can get: http://froogle.google.com/froogle_c...G=Search+Froogle&lmode=&addr=&scoring=p&hl=en
And I'm posting the Froogle link becuase I'll let you decide which online store to go with. That should get you very so-so gaming, but hey, its the best you can get for what you got.
