[3n4n0]

Hello,

I have 60 bucks and want to buy the best graphic card I can afford with that money... what do you guys recommend?

I have a phenom II X4 3.4ghz
and OCZ AMD Black Edition 4GB ram

and what do you think of
XFX Radeon HD 4670 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150450
gigabite 9800gt http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=14-125-288

Probably HD4650.

What is your PSU? brand? model?
monitor? resolution?

If you have a big monitor then you better save some more money and get a higher card...

The gigabyte 9800gt is about the best you can get for $60 but for about $10 more after MIR you can get this which is substantially better http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127495

In that case what do guys you think of the
HIS H567Q512 Radeon HD 5670 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814161319
compared with
MSI N250GTS http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127495
Thinking in the price and performance ¿?

The GTS 250 is way faster. http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/MSI/HD_5830_Twin_Frozr_II/29.html

Rolli's suggestion of GTS 250 is indeed the best you can get for $70 and faster than a 9800GT and HD5670.
So you can get that.

But on the other hand you have a CRT monitor so you'll be fine even with 9800GT as it can display lower than max resolution without any blur unlike LCD monitors.
With my own experience I can say that 9800GT can play most games at 1600X900 decently (and even higher).
So if you can't go above 60$ then 9800Gt will also be fine.

But If you can, then get GTS250 for $70.

And your PSU is enough for any single GPU so no need to worry about that
