hi guy,

just wondering what should i get. my budget is from $50-75. The lower the better of course.

right now i'm thinking of a 9600GT, i may try to hunt for a ATI 4830 if it drops to $75.

just need something decent, was wondering it 9600GT is worth the money, or else i can always hop for a lower end graphic card.

ok, here are a list if "deals" i found so far.
9800GT ~$75 after rebate
9600GT ~$60 recertified..
9600GSO 512MB ~$45 after rebate

here is current system specs.
E4500 2.2ghz
evga 680i
4 gb ram
430W PSU

<--------------------------

In terms of budget card, ATI beats Nvidia. 4830 is just slightly behind 4850. That's how good it is.

problem is that cant find any good deals on ATi cards at the moment :\
the last good deal on a 4830 was $75 after rebate last week..

I am using this card, Gainward 9600GT Golden Sample, well it works well in most of the games, except when it comes to games like Crysis.

But right now that I'm studying, I don't even have time to play any games, so good card is being used to run AERO only LOL
