im not a fan of nvidia at all. im sure theyve fixed it by now but their best cards were gettin like 10-15 frames a second on some of the new AWESOME games comin out and radeon just kicked the crap out of them and lower cards from them were gettin 60fps. look at this same price, and a hella card http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDe ... WSE&depa=1 sorry dont know how to link. this should give u some great graphics and if u wanted to u could overclock it to the power of a 9800 non pro. they arnt hard to put in. i made my computer and put in my 9800pro ulitimate 256mb YAY and its like legos man and installing drivers not a big deal. look around more at newegg ull find some good deals

OH YEA, video cards are easy as hell, just pull power cord out, pull the old vid card out, and put new one in. ground urself by touching the metal on the case.

Well, I have an ATI Radeon 9600 128mb, and it works just fine.

heres one for 108 for that guy lookin for a cheaper one or u can get one for 102 and probably not anyworse http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDe ... WSE&depa=1 look around there good prices like i said before. and not sure if u will be able to get one for 300 my friend and i just built him a comp for 400 and he couldnt run it cause he had a bad gforce 2. he only had a amd 1.6 ghz proc but had 512 ram so im sure u could get one for 4-500 that would work just fine. with the amd 2000 i think or 1900 at 1.4 or 1.6 ghz, corsair 256mb ram, that video card, 40 gig hd, cheap case w/ 350w ps, floppy, and 52X cd burner, abit motherboard, u can get that for a tad over 400 off of newegg.
