Basic video card

[gwarren007]

I am looking to buy a video card that can run a 19"lcd (widescreen) and runs cool.
Relatively no gaming. Just for surfing and DVD playback (Hense the widescreen).
Pcie X16

At least if relatively no gaming means basically no gaming.

For your purposes any of the low end 8400/8500 or 2600/3400/3600 level cards would do the trick just fine. Just look for the best deal, the deals forum has had some real deals lately. There was a 2600xt a week or two back for like $15 after rebates. You can buy a 3450 from newegg for like $35.

What about a 7300gt? I can buy 2 and use the second card for another build.

The 7300GT will work just fine.
