I plan on spending around 250.00 for a new video card. I see on Ebay there's a few cards with 8500 chipsets for around 220.00. Don't know if the cards are actually any good or not. Also see some Ti200 for around 170.00. What would you get??? Or should I wait till closer to Christmas before I get one??? I play UT alot watch some DVDs.

The price for performance goes to the 8500, it performs as well or better than the Ti500 for about 100$ less, however it does have some driver problems, i suggest you wait till christmas to see if its sorted out, the Ti200 is also a good card, especially if you like overclocking, and it a little bit cheaper than the 8500, but the 8500 would still crush it....
