What video board?

[clive45]

I am building a new PC using the following.
Ga-965P-ds3
G skill 1Gb DDR2 PC2-6400 4 4 4 12
Core2 duo E6420
Antec true power trio 430w power supply
cooler master case 2 X 120mm fansseagate 320Gb sata 2 16mb cache hdd
Noctua heat sinks for cpu with fan and for the northbridge.

I will hopefully over clock this to about 3Ghz with info from this forum and others.
My question is what Video board to get.
I dont play game very often and as I have to get anew video board as the only one I have is AGP, what do I get and how much do I spend without wasting money. I just dont want the video board to hold things up.
Any info you can give would be greatly appreciated.

Get a 7600 series card. It doesn't draw much power and quite cheap.

Gigabyte GeForce 7300GT Turbo Force Ed. 256MB DDR2.
What about one of these???

Well, it's really up to you though, since you've said that you don' play games much.
btw, what exactly you want to do ? you said you want to overclock but you don't play games much. Are you looking a cheap video card just in case you'll burn your PC because of OCing ?

I need a quick pc for running all sorts of software and photoshop work. Spend a fair bit of time on the net with pics and vids. Don't need to spend a lot on the vid card, I need a pcie card for this m/b

If you want more cheaper, you can look for GeForce 6 series card such this : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127279

I just picked up a Gigabyte GeForce 7300GT Turbo Force Ed. 256MB DDR2. for $A80.
I forgot to say that I use radio control flight simulators which need a bit of video grunt as well. Thanks for your input.
