Recommended Video Card, possibly psu, for DIM 9100
Im looking for a good video card that has good gafix. I am somewhat blind in choosing the right card. I just base off of reviews/what is selling/ratings.
Dimension 9100 Desktop Specs: (stock everything except memory) Dual Core 2.8GHz Radeon x600 (lol) 2 GB RAM (forgot what speed, upgraded level above stock tho) pci x16 So I like what I have right now, the memory upgrade did WONDERS all around. So primarily what card would be a good match? This is for gaming like oblivion mostly (can currently run medium settings with some hesistation) , HL2 runs nice now also, but not ridiculous like crisis or any 2007+ games. I want to have it be highly upgraded but not overkilled, because apparently bottlenecking can occur! Limit of around $300 (but if theres a huge performance gap with a price difference of $40 or something thats good too). Also wouldnt mind a decoration of some sort on the card lol. Looking at... 8800GT 512MB 256-bit $290 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814130303 or.. kinda leaning on this one... 8800GT 512MB 256-bit $310 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814150254 or stepping down a notch, but popular... 8600GT 256MB 128-bit $100 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814150229 Also I would have to get a new psu right? hmm |

I agree, look at the PSU listed above and the eVGA card in your first link.
