I just opened my cabinet to have a look around things.I found out that my 7300gt was blocking one of my pci slots.

Now i plan to buy a new graphics card.My PSU is 400w.I have only 200$ to spend so whats the best card i should buy for that money.All additional things i should buy with card like psu or heatsink should be under 200$.My LCD MAX resolution is 1440 wide screen.

Also how do i install my new graphics card.My current monitor cable goes to my 7300gt pin.There is also 1 additional pin behind my cabinet where monitor cable fits in but when i installed it there there was no display in my screen.

Help going to buy a new card soon.Just dont make me regret buying anything.

Yes uninstall your old drivers, windows will still display on 1 of its generic drivers, shut down, install new card and boot up then install new drivers

HD4850 is more powerful than an 8800GT, it's actually as powerful as a 9800GTX+
