Graphics Card

My PC has a built in crap and I want to upgrade it but I've no clue what Graphics card I should go for. The only purpose of that card would be playing games nothing else.

I was checking www.inno3d.com but still no clue. I need a PCI Express card.

what do you think about this one: Inno3D Geforce 7300 GT ??

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks

 

I too was thinking of buying Geforce 7300
but now I've changed my mind and thinking of buying Geforce 8500GT.
The prices of the two vary a little but the 8x series has advantage that its Directx 10 compatible so it has a future proof.
On the other hand 7x series is more for gaming and 8400-8500 is basically for enhancing video, 8600 and 8800 for hardcore gaming.
You can checkout the prices at http://copystars.com/video_card_319_ctg.htm

 

Well as I mentioned above the main purpose of buying this would be playing games. I'm not a hard core gamer so I don't need something really big or advanced. I just want a graphics card that is good to run some of the latest games.

Thanks for mentioning Directx 10 (I totally forgot that). Still confused what to go for

 

Well obviously Geforce 8500 is much better then 7300.
As far as I know 8500 is capable of running games like Bioshock at high settings.

I had the problem of PCI-Express also. I was about to order 30" monitor when I realised I needed dual-dvi graphics, and for that I needed a PCI-Express slot, and for that I needed a new PC.

 

Haha, atleast you get a new PC now with the monitors now

 

That would be nice if I had :

$2000 for the screen
$1400 for the card that dell reccommeneded
$4000 for a decent PC.
