I'm deciding on components for my build and the video card has me
confused. The motherboard has PCIe (no AGP). I want to run a C++
compiler, play movies, occasionally play games, display family
pictures (good and true skin-tone color), and at least have the video
last me several years. If the card can display local TV that's a plus
(I don't own a TV nor have cable). The cost should be $100-$200 and
I'm looking for the best bang for the buck. My total system cost will
be a little over $1100. Can you recommend a quality card in my price
range? Any recent articles? (I just read Tom's Hardware video
article comparison). There's so many video card choices! TIA
