Could you recommend a graphics card for me?

[nickjanney]

Hi,

Could you recommend an graphics card for someone on a budget of $150 USD? My specs:

e2180 non-OCed
2GB PC2-5300
1 pci x16 slot
the power supply is getting upgraded along with the graphics card (it's cost is seperate from the budget i gave) so i don't really know which one I will be getting yet.

With this card I would like to play the following games:

Just Cause
Flight Simulator X
Team Fortress 2
Battlefield 2142
maybe Crysis
Test Drive: Unlimited
