Okay im in the process of upgrading my current rig, which is a bit older, and specs are listed in my sig. Id like to think that my processor can handle alot even though its a bit older tech, unfortunately i have the shittiest graphics card in the existance of mankind.

My main focus in gaming are first person shooters, and world of warcraft, so i dont need top of the line, and i plan on upgrading to a full 2 gigs of ram this winter.

So my question is, what agp card would you suggest for this aging system that would at least give me top of the line performance for w.o.w. and not kill my wallet or waste my money since my system possibly isnt worth it.
 
One I been looking at is Nvidia 6800GT. It's plenty for WOW. And cheap second hand.

If you are going for a new AGP card like 7800GS then you would be better off getting a cheap AMD CPU, cheap Nforce 4 mobo and a pci-e card. I mean a pci-e 7900GS outperforms any AGP card by a mile and is plenty cheaper.

hard maths here ;)
 
I would say get the best one you can afford. I just upgraded my last box from agp to pci-e, so if you deduce that a Radeon 9800xt will suffice for your needs, give me a holla. I think that if 100-125 is your budget, I'd get a 850xt, 800xt, or 6800 gt with 256 ram, in that order. Again, that is just my opinion.
 
I think X1600Pro or 7800GS would be good choices, the latter being a tad more pricey than the X1600Pro.
