> MEM 1Gx2|A-DATA ADQVE1A16K pc400
> HD 250G|ST 7K 16M SATA2 ST3250410AS - OEM
Graphics card evga 7900 gt 256mb

HD 4850 would work nicely.

yes the 4850 in this case would be sufficient.

Go with the 4850 and get the 1GB version if you can get a good deal on it. Getting a better card than that wouldn't give you much of a benefit at that resolution with that system.

I agree HD4850 is a good choice. An 8800GT/9800GT would save a few bucks and be a good match too for that system and your resolution. ($110 or so shipped)
