     This is for a Dell computer. The video cards they show are NVIDIA GeForce 6150 LE Integrated Graphics GPU, 256MB NVIDIA Geforce 7300LE TurboCache, and 256MB ATI Radeon X1300 Pro. I'm not really sure which one would be best for gaming. The Dell site recommends the 256MB ATI Radeon X1300 Pro. But i want to know what the people who used those cards think of them. So which one is the best for gaming. Thanks in advance.

Look, dells are over priced. And if you have to get dell, get an XPS not Insperon. I reccomend cyberpowerpc.com

In all honesty I'm not a big fan of any of them. Dell is probably charging you way too much for them anyway. If you can I would suggest going with onboard graphics from Intel if you can, and just buying your own GPU from newegg or something when you get your rig.

Edit: Or just piece together your own rig with exactly what you need/want for way less money. You get much more for your cash and way more satisfaction from a build you did yourself.

How intensive of games are you thinking about playing and at what resolution? The X1300 is only good for around 40fps @ 1024x768 no AA/AF in games from like 2004. Stick with your consoles if that's all you can afford, or I think you'll be quite disappointed in all honesty.

Check out a different building site - Velocity Micro, AVA Direct, Puget Systems, Widow PC, or ABS are all good choices, and offer much better components than Dell does.

Look at other Gaming PC build sites - Velocity Micro, Falcon, even Alienware!! Avoid Dell - they're overpriced and not specialised in gaming rigs...

Well Alienware is Dell's now, so its Dellienware now :lol: and what are you talking about, the XPS line is a fine gaming line.

I'd checkout cyberpowerpc.com, obviously if he's considering a X1300 or less he doesn't have the dough for a Falcon or Alienware and the like, probably couldn't even afford the box it ships in from them.
