Good video card for computer?

Ok I have a

Window 7 home edition

4GB RAM

CPU. AMD Athlon(tm) II X2 215 Processor

CPU SPEED 2.71 GHz Performance Rated at: 5.2845 GHz



Sadly my video card is GeForce 6150SE nForce 430,and thats a HORRIBLE video card for gaming.

So I was wondering whats a good video card for gaming thats $110 ,or less?|||Problem is, you'll probably have to replace your power supply for a higher end GPU if your PSU is stock



For around that price though you can get a 4870 Radeon on Newegg for $100 or so after rebate|||Unfortunately the 430 isn't such a great card. It would be a good physx card or for folding. I would recommend you go with a GTS 450 which can be had for around $100. It's on the same level as a GTX 260 with DX11. Can ahndle almost any game at up to1680x1050 and some 1920x1200 with lower textures.



When the prices come down in 6 months or so, get another and run those SLI. 450SLI are on the same level as a GTX 470, run cooler, use less energy and cost much less. Just make sure you get the latest driver (as they are always tweaked for newer games) and have a PSU that can handle the wattage. A good 550w or 600w is ample.



Hope that helps|||http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as…
