I need a new video card for my PC. But I don't know which kind to get. I want to be able to hook up the PC to a monitor and a TV. I also want it to be good for games. Anyone know of a good Video Card for that?
Also, if this is the wrong section, sorry. Please move if needed.

Right now I only have $185. But in 1 week, I'll have $250 to spend.

Meh, 8800 GTS.
I got an 8600 GTS a couple weeks back, and I love it. I got MSI's version, from Newegg, which is fanless and just has a big heatsink on the back, and I love it. It runs games quite well, at full specs a lot of the time. Being fanless is cool as well.
Plus, it comes with an HDMI adapter and cable, for HDTV hook up, and normal Component cables as well. But frankly, the nVidia 9 series might come out soon, so I dunno if you really want to buy a new card now...

I just need something for my computer. It sits in its corner begging to be used. It also has ALL my modding resources on it. And all my mods, and skins, etc. But I guess I can wait for the nVidia 9 series to come out.

Ah, I see. But yeah, saving up a little more (so that you'll be able to have money for the initial debut) and then getting the 9 series would be a good idea if you're going to really plan on having the computer for a while more.

If anything, don't get that GTS 320mb, Get the new 8800GTS 512mb (G90 version). Its like the 8800GT 512mb but Better.

I have a 8800 GTX 768 MB. Either wait for its price to go down (as not even the latest ATI cards can beat this 8 month old beast), or wait for the 9800 GX2.
