    If you're putting an 8400 GS into a desktop machine you're probably better to just use the onboard motherboard graphics - the 8400 GS is very low-spec and the difference in every day PC usage will be minimal, even in gaming you won't notice much difference if you have a relatively high spec motherboard. Although the Galaxy version is probably the best out of the three.

    You have a great system... now you need a decent graphics card. A cheap one, but with decent performance.

    Please, please don't go for anything less than 8600 GT. Nothing less... otherwise it would be like driving a Ferrari with handbrake on... completely worthless...

    Remember, atleast an 8600 GT... --> http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3445092&CatId=1826 --- 70$

    Preferable, 9800GT
