hey guys, i recently got this pc, and aparently it needs a better video card.

here are the specs:

intel core 2 quad

q6600 @2.40ghz

1.98gb or ram

videocard: geforce 8400 gs

alright, i wanna be able to play all the cool games, i am a TOTAL PC N00B so im asking whats the right video card for me?, my aunt offered to help me with $185 , but i have another $100, that id rather not spend but will if i have to

i was thinking something with geforce 8800 but there are so many lol, gs, gts, gtx :P

and one more thing, i was looking at new egg, and everytime i searched a video card, the same one costs diferent prices:

why?

please help!

alright thx for the replies, i have 2 gb or ram btw, i dont NEED to play crysis at max settings, but mid would be ok i guess, is the 8600 overlocked ok? or should i get a better one?

one more thing, do i need some special kind of ventilation system to overlock?

no :P the comp is new so i thought it would have them

im a n00b, but here are my pc specs

Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz
2gb ram
NVIDIA GeForce 8400 GS (GeForce 8400 GS): 512 mb

and when i check cod4 frame rates, its over 60 at low settings, so i dont think thatss the problem

alright, so im using this new pc, and in every game ive played so far i have this problem:

i start moving, and then it stops. for example, im holding the "w" key to go foward, but after like 4 seconds, i stop walking/running, so then i have to wait a sec and hit the "w" key again. btw the games ive tried are cod4 and bioshock, im sure my comp can run cod4 any idea what the problem is?

hey guys my parents wanted to buy me a good comp for my birthday and i was wondering what games i should buy.

i alry have a piravet version of cod4 and i like it, but i dunno if its worth spending 50$ getting the real thing just to play on more servers. do you guys think people on cracked servers are worse or better than people on normal serveres?

or just spend the cash on another game like the orange box or i dunno?

or

would it be a good idea to just save for an xbox or ps3?

note: pardon my engilsh, i was raised by dolphins.
