Im upgrading my computer and I need advice on what video card I need to purchase. Im looking to spend only about $150.00 or less but I want performance enough to play most of todays games. With my set up right now I can play most games I like to play with some tinkering of the settings by lowering them. Here are my system specs right now.
AMD Athlon II X2 240 Regor 2.8GHz Socket AM3 65W Dual-Core Processor ADX240OCK23GQ - OEM
ASRock A780LM-S AM3/AM2+/AM2 AMD RS780L (760G) Micro ATX AMD Motherboard
ASUS EN9800GT/DI/512MD3 GeForce 9800 GT 512MB 256-bit DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card
150GB Hard Drive
2GB System RAM
Right now Im just wanting to get a Video Card. Im on a fixed income so I have to upgrade one component at a time unless the deal is good then I can get something else to go along with it. Ive always used Nvidia products and have always had very good luck with them. However, I am willing to swap to ATI if thats whats recommended and is better than what I have. Any card that will out preform my current one will work as long as it will last me at least a year or two before I have to upgrade again. Thanks in advance for any and all advise and info.
