What is the best video card bang-for-buck right now? Can anyone help me out with some ideas on what I need on a tight budget?
I'm not an avid PC gamer but have just ordered parts to do my first upgrade minus video card until I decide which one. I prefer shopping at Newegg if anyone can link me to cards there, or wherever doesnt really matter as long as it's a good deal and a good card. I dont prefer one brand over another at this point because I'm used to only having a TNT Riva Model64
I just purchased these items to go with whatever video card might be suggested.
Mobo: Abit NF7-S
CPU: AMD AthlonXP-M 2600+
RAM: OCZ 512mb PC3200
Hope to be able to play FarCry/Doom3/others etc. with decent settings
so any help is appreciated
btw, newegg has refurbed cards, are these a no-no to even think about or are the safe to buy?
