Hi,
I'm building a new computer and can't decide which video card to buy. I have these in mind:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6814161252

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6814127382

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6814150316

Some people complain about heat in 9600 GT, I don't know which one to buy. My budget is maximum $120 you can come up with a different model.

Thanks.

Looks like it'll work

Do you know what power supply you're using?

Well it has a PCI-express slot, that's all that really matters.

The card is PCIE2.0 X16 and your board says under Expansion slots that it has a PCIE X16 slot.
Now the motherboard slot is a 1.0 or 1.1 X16 slot and the card is 2.0 but the two are perfectly compatable, while a 2.0 X16 slot in theory can carry twice the information that a X16 1.0/1.1 slot can it dosent mean the performance will suffer. The reason being the full bandwidth (which is the amount of info it can shift) isnt fully used on the 1.0/1.1 slot yet and the main advantage of th e2.0 standard is that it allows for twice the power to b efeed to the card through the slot.
