Hi, I just placed an order for the bulk of my I5 system (see below). I have $50 left in the budget for a video card - can you guys please help? NO gaming or video editing, but I do need to drive 2 22' Acer monitors @1680 X 1050. These monitors have both VGA and DVI inputs. At some point I would like to possibly add a 3rd monitor. Are there any hot deals right now? What is the best deal at Newegg today for $50?

Thanks!

Only potential problem I see is size - board is over 9" long. But I think it should fit the gigabyte GA-P55M-UD2 in an Antec Sonata III case, Right?

Also, what is '6 pin power'? Does my earthwatts 500W PSU that came with the Antec case have 6 pin power?

Thank you again

+1 for the 9600GSO. Best under $50 imo.

As for the 6 pin PCIe connector, yes, the EA500 has it. And yes, it should fit in the Sonata III.
