Graphics card & HD combo for $150

[amneziac85]

So my uncle needs two things to play games, a hard drive and a video card. Ive been way out of the loop for too long, I dont even know whats out anymore... and he only wants to spend $150.

So thats why I'm here. He doesnt need too much space, something at or above 80GB would be best then whatever graphics card as long as its AGP with a composite out. The HD's i have a handle on, but whats the best graphics card out for $70?

Ive looked at the Radeon 9600SE link and it looks like a good buy. Anyone know if they sell s-video to composite adapters?

try not to get an SE if you can help it

Well I do see for $78 they have a non SE version. Is it worth the extra $8? Haha, I guess so.

i'd splash out for a 9600 pro for $80, it's going to last you for a longer time and it will affect games considerably more than a hard-drive will (therefore you may want to spent more on it). check this one out:

as for a hard drive, i don't see any specifics but try to stay with big brand names, and go for a lower seek time. consider a SATA drive over IDE if your motherboard supports it.

EDIT: i'm pretty sure that you can buy s-video to composite adapters, infact i have one myself. but i can't see any on newegg right now, although i may not be looking in the right places.
