Looking to buy a new Video Card

I'm looking into buying a new video card but i'm not sure what would be a good one to buy.

I'm looking for a decent card that i can get some good gaming out of. My budget would have to be up to $300 MAX.

So if anyone could give me any suggestions on what are some good cards and also maybe some sites that sell them for a good price, that would be awesome.

Thanks for your time and effort.

8800GT is in your budget,get that.Indestructible2

How do you find out how many watts your power supply has and how much the card requires?(sorry i'm not very intelligent with computers)Legitplaya

awesome, thanks for your help, it's much appreciated.

Ok, i have a new question now, is this a good 8800gt for the price?

(also it is in stock at my local futureshop) I was just wondering if this is a good one and if the price is right, or if there is a better place to buy one for cheaper?

your help would be appreciated, thanks

I suggest you go for the ATI Radeon HD3850, you can pick it up for cheap and it offers absolutely awesome performance for such a cheap price.

Or you could go for the 8800GT which offers slightly better performance but could cost a bit more either way you go you wont be dissapointed they are both kick a** cards.

i just bought 9800 gtx oc 512mb ive owned 8800gts 8800gt and this i far a better card only for $220,it take min 500 watt power

best buy is the place.

That was a good deal, Topic poster, if you have something like a gateway or hp, your likely gonna have to upgrade your power supply also. Look on newegg.com, and type in "9800 gt" and "corsair power supply", try to get a 550 watt corsair brand powersupply. You should be just under $200 for those two parts. Get a technical person near you to install it all, or you can do it. It is very simple to install power supplies and graphics cards.

ive got an 8800gts, you can actually get my card for $183, $153 with mail in rebate http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127325

if you need a new power suply heres one for $75 that is garunted to run and 8800gts, i know that because i have this one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817341010&Tpk=OCZ%20Stealth%20XStream%20600W

be about $230 not including shipping for both

If you've got 300 to burn, go with a HD4850. That'll get you the best bang for the buck out there =)

Or if you can't afford a HD4850, go for a 8800GT.

The 8800GT is still a good one.
