Well my friend wants to start building his first PC.
He will be using it for your everyday things like internet. word processing and games.

I just wanted the [H]'s opinion on a good video card in the $100 range. That would allow him to play (lets say doom3) but it does not have to have all eye candy turned on.

I might be able to get him to up the price to $150 so I know the 9600XT is the highest he can go. But could you guys give me another alternative incase he can not get the extra cash.

Thanks for all your help in advance.
