Hey guys. Not sure if this is the appropriate forum location, but here It is. Anyone have any suggestions on vid cards? I'm a huge noob in that department. I'm looking to stay under 150$, and I know my interface is pci express x16. Any help would be extremely welcome. Running in safe mode with no wow makes garm a sad boy.
thx =D
I think the HD4850s are probably going to be your best bang for the buck at $150 or less. Here's one for $139.99 after rebate:

I've got two of these:
nVidia 9800 GT $99 after rebate ($129)
www.tigerdirect.com 9800GT
It's an awesome videcard. It's sLI too.
thanks for the suggestions. after reading lots of reviews on newegg... it turns out my power supply is an issue. it's 375W max so the $100 + cards are nogo for me... but this one got great reviews and i guess on the bright side will save me a bit :: i'll let you know how it works for boxing!!!

Eh you'd probably be just fine with a 375W PS...mines only 400W and im using 2 CDROM drives, 2 hard drives, a 9800GT, athlon x2 4400+, etc...
Honestly the power supply rating requirements these days are f'ing retarded. Most people think you have to have a huge powersupply to do anything...back in the day I used to run 2 HDs 2CDROM drives from a 230W and people still claimed it wasn't possible without a 300W...
It's because most of the power supplies are junk.
well, thanks for the PS comments. good to know for the future i guess, when i have the cash i'll try my hand at building my own next computer.
