I am building a comp. for my father-in-law and am trying to figure out what video card to get.
Specs so far:
Antec case and 350w power supply
MSI KT3 Ultra2 mobo
Athlon XP 1700+ retail
Lite-On 40X12X48 cdrw
Samsung floppy
WD 80GB Special Edition 7200 hdd
256 Samsung pc2700 ddr ram
Linksys nic
Microsoft XP home
Total so far $619 delivered from newegg.
He doesn't play games and just basically needs to surf and run office. I know the processor and mobo are maybe more than he needs but they were relatively cheap for the performance and I decided to get the nicer WD hard drive with 8 Mb cache. I am going to use onboard audio but am trying to find a relatively good, cheap video card. Any ideas? Also, any critisism/suggestions to the above setup welcome. Thanks.
