Help me

Pick a new video card for my computer please..

here's what I have.

Intel Core 2 Duo E4300
GIGABYTE GA-945GZM-S2 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard
1Gb of Kingston ValueRAM DDR2-667
Cheap 300W PSU that came with the case.
Nvidia 7600GS (Fanless)

This machine was a HTPC running myth/ubuntu at one time, but I'd like to turn it into a budget gaming rig now. I want something that will play ut3/ cod4/ well.

With that being said.... What would be the best option in the 2-300 range?


Thanks

You really need a better PSU, but I would say that an 8600GTS, 2600XT, 2900 pro, 8800GTS would all be good cards for you. For the 2900 and 8800, you WILL need a better PS.

I wouldn't run any of the above recommended cards with the OP's current PSU... Pick up any one of these, and then start shopping for a card...

Just my advice...

I'll definitely grab a new PSU, just really stuck on which video card to go with.
