Hey guys,

so it seems I've run into a bit of a problem. I was using my PC fine, playing Fallout 3 and TF2 when every once in awhile, the game would crash, telling me my gfx drivers failed, and i had to reboot, so i downloaded new drivers and all, and it seemed to have fixed the problem. The next day, my monitor claimed there was no signal when i booted my PC in the morning. So i switched the input from DVI to VGA on the gfx card (BFG GeForce 7800 GS OC). It worked for a day, then the next morning it crapped out on me again. Its not that the cables are unplugged, nor is it the monitor. It might be worth mentioning that i only have a 300W PSU while BFG recommends 400W. Is it for sure my video card that died on me? If so which of the following do you suggest? I'm AGP btw.

Also take a look on Newegg, it's most likely $50 cheaper.

Is it worth the extra 60 bucks?
