Viedo card for modorate gaming

i am trying to get a new video card for my new system. but i wont be playing many games. mabey some COD4 when it gets cheaper... i dont buy games that often. it needs to play cod2 but also some newer games. my monitor is a old dell CRT monitor. it is VGA so the cards i was looking at are all DVI. i like the 4830 but i swear the price for it rose. anyways, what would be a good PCIe 2.0 card for my needs. my cpu is an AMD 5000 OCed at 2.8 if that matters.
ps is there dvi to VGA adapters.

CPU AMD 5000 2.8ghz
RAM 2.75GB 256 shared video memory (3GB)
2 hard drives
530W PSU
windows xp home

both cards are in diff categories though

I would look into 9600 GT better than the 4670 but not better than the 4830.

But it can be found for under 100$ depending on where you look.

No, the 9600>4670 by quite an amount.

Yes, I know it`s for another card, but check out the benchmarks.

thanks, im leaning toard the 4830 because its a little slower than the 9800 GT but it has way more Steam Proccessors. and everything else is pretty much the same. is it worth it to have a litttle bit more speed but less steam proccessors or vice versa?

thanks for all the suggestions

A little more on stream processors: Nvidia and ATI do their SPs differently, so you cannot compare the two directly. However, stream processor count is a valid way to compare two cards from the same company, e.g. two nvidia cards or two ati cards. You just can't compare an ati card to an nvidia card like that.

Edit: Nvidia uses multithreaded SPs while ati uses vector SPs - this is why you can't compare them.
