need help with videocard

[Eyal123]

hi i'm new here, or as people on forums would call me: noobie...
i'm not really an expert in videocards, but i'm looking for a new one.
basically theese are the stuff i want it to do/know: i should be able to edit movies with it, and play almost any game, and it should be fast, i don't want it to be 2 expensive either.
i live in hungary, so the prices are different, i guys migh have models that we don't have yet..

Editing movies isn't extremely intensive on any GPU worth purchasing.

Given your (relatively vague) critera, I'd recommend an NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GT as the bare minimum.

For a little extra performance (if you want to be able to play all games with decent settings), I'd go with an ATI Radeon X1800XT; secondarily an NVIDIA GeForce 7900 GT.

Considering the performance/dollar curve drops significantly below that, I'd stop there and not tread into the more expensive (X1900/7900GTX) waters.

I agree with U4ik.

Lower end I'd look for a 7600GT, moving on up I'd look at the x1800XT 256, then up to the 7900GT along with the x1800xt 512 for the top end.

Good advice

low end 7600GTs go for about 150 here after mail in rebates, i'm not sure how much they go for in hungary. Fast, good, and cheap... hmm..... I think an X1800GTO// X1800XT// 7600GT// 7900GT all look good.
