Hello,
I need to get a video card for a new computer I'm building. I'm not an avid gamer, but when I do want to enjoy a new game, I don't want to be dissappointed. I do do a lot of 2D work in Photoshop, I would like something that is good for it. At first, I was thinkng about an ATI 9000Pro, but I fear it may not be good enough for games. I was then thinking about a Geforce 4 Ti-4200...the price is just a little high (but i might end up getting it anyways). What else should I consider? A Radeon 9700 is too expensive for me right now, and I don't know if I need that kind of power in my graphics card (as I said, I dn't play that many games).
At the same time, I'd like to get a PCI TVtuner with PVR so I can record and watch some TV. Any recommendations on that?
My mobo is an Asus a7n8x deluxe, with an amd xp 2200+, and 1gb DDR 400.
Thanks in advance! Take care
