I recently asked for help upgrading my old video card for a replacement here:
http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-2056745/buying-replacement-video-card.html
The suggested replacement for my hardware and OS was this card:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202084
The card I ordered by the suggestion of the users here has a design flaw. It causes distortion lines to constantly flow from bottom to top of the screen and it is incredibly annoying. That particular card has had repeated reports of screen flicker that never get solved on ANY forum that someone has asked. I asked about it here and there was never a conclusion. The reviews on Newegg do not state that this is a problem. I had to find out the hard way. Can you guys please offer me a Geforce/Nvidia replacement card for this setup:
Win XP
3 gig ram
AMD Athlon Dual Core Processor 4450e 2.3 ghz
550 watt PSU (from my previous thread, I gathered that my PSU has 24 pin main motherboard connector with an extra 4 pins for use on older 20 pin motherboards, PCI express 6 plus 2 power connector, EPS or ATX 4 plus 4 pin connector "four pins for ATX, 8 pins for EPS.)
This is my PSU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817207013
I realize it's an old system and most people would tell me to buy a new one, but I'm not flush with cash and I'm RMA'ing the Radeon card I was told would be best. I'm looking for a good replacement for that card under 100 dollars, something that is as good as the Radeon HD 7770 1gig that I'm talking about. Something that doesn't overheat or have any obvious flaws...
I want to buy the card from bestbuy. This is the seventh consecutive time that I've gotten something off Newegg that has not worked properly and I want to try using Bestbuy instead.

Something from this list between the 50-100 dollar range that is as good as the Radeon HD 7770 1gig. I'm not looking for a huge upgrade, just an equal replacement at the very least. I usually just play WoW and Diablo 3 with low-moderate settings and I need a card that is capable of doing that and not choking my processor to death while maintaining smooth frames. I want to stay away from Radeon/AMD/ATI and go back to Geforce/Nvidia. I appreciate any help!
