Building a new PC

[Zabby]

I'm currently in the process of building a new PC and haven't been paying much attention to pc components for the last couple months and am in need of a little help with the video card. I'm looking to spend about $700 on my computer without a monitor. I have pretty much everything picked out but the video card. I play games, currently only WoW. I'm getting pretty bored of it though and am going to be starting to play newer games so i want the video card to be decent at least for a few year.

Any ideas on what kind of card i should get that will be decent for a while would be appreciated.

I would go with the 8800 gt here:

It's about the best video card you can get for 150$.

If you can spend more I would either wait for the new 9900's to come out or get the 8800 gts. But I feel the 8800 gt is teh best for the price by far. Make sure if you get the 8800 gt u get one with 512mb of memory and not 256mb. Hope this helps...have fun!
