When I built a system 4 years ago, I purchased a PNY GeForce 2 64mb video card. Well it played Unreal Tourament great back then. I paid at least $200 for the card when it came out and I feel I got the life out of the card.

Now, I think it is time to upgrade the card. But I need some advice. First, I am not a hardcore gamer but would like the card to handle games should I choose to get into them. I would perfer something with 2 outputs as well as tv-out as I use 2 monitors and use my TV for playing ripped movies. I am currently using a PCI Geforce 4 w.tv out for my 2nd monitor and tvout. Getting a card wtih all 3 would free up a PCI slot for myself.

I also have a ATI TV tuner card which I use to watch and record television. I would want video card that is compatable and can handle this.

I was looking at the GeForce 6800 series, but I really don't want to spend more than $200.

Anyone have any suggestions for me or have a used video card for sale?
 
The problem is that most cards (well, everythign from ATI and nVidia), even if they have 3 outputs, will only ever display on 2 at a time, so you'll probably want to keep the extra card to do your dual-head + tv
