Recommendations for a cheap video card

Thanks. I'm going for the 2nd combo. Considering this video card as well ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16814161252 ) and fortunately it comes with a DVI-VGA adapter. That puts me at about $100 more than I initially wanted to spend so I haven't decided on that part yet. Really...

How important do you think getting a motherboard that supports the latest Phenom II processors is? I'm currently looking at 2 bundles: - $70 for a 780g mobo that DOES support Phenom II ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16813157154 ) - $90 for a combo deal of 4850e and RAM (...

How accurate is this PSU calculator? http://extreme.outervision.com/PSUEngine I inputted a regular motherboard, AMD Athlon X2 7750 2700 MHz Kuma @ 85% TDP, 2 sticks of DDR2 SDRAM, an ATI Radeon HD 4670, 1 IDE 7200 rpm HDD, and 1 DVD-ROM drive. That's all I have. At a 95% system load and 40%...

I have an Antec SL300S. Ideally, it'd be able to run handle a 4670 and I'd be spending about $150 total, but if not, we'll see. Thanks for the advice everyone.

Recommendations for a cheap video card

Well after some more research, I'm leaning toward the 780g route. I feel that it'd be more worthwhile to upgrade my box for a bit more $, as opposed to spending $70 (or more if I get a psu) that has a limited return on investment since both my system and AGP cards are behind the times. With...

Thanks happy medium for the response; the system you laid out sure is tempting, but I'm not a big gamer and I'd like to spend as little money as possible. Thanks for the help. I'm looking at the route you suggested vs. the Radeon 3650; here's what I'm looking at: 780g mobo for $60 -...

Recommendations for a cheap video card

Thanks for the advice. Would you mind making any recommendations? I found a nice looking mobo-gpu combo on newegg.com (http://www.newegg.com/Product/...ItemList=Combo.182271)) but I've been removed from computer hardware for awhile and I don't really know what qualifies as a good CPU or...

Thanks for all the responses. They've been real helpful. I've come around to the fact that I need a better power supply as well; I'll get one so that won't be a factor. Would you still recommend a 3650 over a 3850 because of my slow CPU? Thanks again. Edit: 3650 requires 1 4 pin...

Recommendations for a cheap video card

I'm looking for a cheap video card between $50-100, but I'm willing to spend over $100. The main reason for this upgrade is to play a game (see below). Current system specs: - AMD Athlon 2400+ XP - MSI K7N2 motherboard (http://www.msicomputer.com/pro...model=K7N2_Delta2-LSR) - Radeon...
