edge posted a very economical gaming card, I would recommend that one, you just may have to take a loan out.

x1900xt is where the power is at.. if your looking for a nice card and want to save some $$ get a x850xt (some still around for a lil more then $150). I still have mine and it plays all my games great. Wouldn't recomend it another 2 years down the road tho.

He has an AGP motherboard so a PCI-E will not work.

x800GTO unlockable up to 16 pipelines 165$ USD
