How much are you willing to spend on a video card is the question?
Since you have PCI-E 16x I'd suggest either going with a GeForce 7800GT or one of the new ATi cards.

 

[JellyWorld]

What's your budget?

 

[Da-Muffin-Man]

Hmmmm how much money do you have to spend?

 

[Theory]

ahh id like to spend 200 or less or maybe a lil more on the card

 

[WhiteZero]

Hmm... your not going to get anything too awesome for that.
Maybe try a vanilla 6800?

You'd probably want to save up a bit more to spend around $330 on a nicer card.

You can get a BFG 7800GT OC for about 230-240... good card.

£ is British Pounds

I think from the start we were meaning $ US Dollars

The very reason why we should always state what currency we are using

Dont bother with the "OC" cards, their a crock. You can overclock it yourself and save a ton of money.

 

[Ren.182]

Yeah sorry, i should have mention it was in £...

 

[Theory]

what about teh 800xl for like 180

That applys for most examples, but some of them are actually cheaper and faster thank stock 7800gts like the one I got and is linked to a couple of replys back, the overclockers.co.uk link
