First post on here, but I've been around elsewhere for a while.
Building a replacement PC for my sister.
It's only for basic office use and maybe for playing back 1080p mkvs on her TV. I already have her a miniPC I built for her TV, but if that fails I would like her to have this as a backup.
Can anyone suggest a PCI-E video card that is less than $20 the preferably has HDMI? I have a 6600gt with 128mb ram somewhere but not finding it right now.
Prefer new, but would't really mind used if it is cheap and working.
Thanks!
 
if you want new your gonna have to spend around $30 unless you can find a deal on ebay or something
 
Here you go, $17 after rebate, great card door what you need.

I think this is the one...
Should be no reason it won't fill all the needs for her computing.
The 9800gt was tempting but then I would need to get her a new power supply with the 6 pin power, and the fan is just one more thing to fail. Plus they get you for an extra $11 for the ground shipping.

Thanks for your feedback!
 
that card seems to be $70+
a little bit out of the $20~$30 I was thinking.

The one Tony suggested is the best option as you are only playing 1080p movies, plus it can give you the option of using a Bluray drive later.
