What card

foldbak · 04-22-2008, 07:58 PM

Hi all,
I have a dell 5150 with a pic express x 16 video slot and a budget of $170. I want to game.
Suggestions?

What are the specs of the computer?

With the way your budget is I think a lower end 8800 and a quality psu would be a good match for 170$ , Your stock psu would only be able to power midrange cards , and a lower end 8800 would be more powerful then say a midrange 8600. Something like a 256mb 8800gt for 130$ (I saw on tigerdirect) and a quality 500w psu for 50 or 60$. You could get some nice xbox 360 style graphics out of it.

Heres the card I found

You'll then need a quality psu 500w or higher.

something like this.
