which card?

[hainer36]

well im building a computer for a friends boss and am stuck on the final component, the vidoe card. So far the system is pretty good for $500 CDN, 805D, P5WD2E-P, 2x1GB Patriot DDR2-800, Ultra X-Finity 600W *shivers*, XP-120 HSF. Now for a video card. The guy only needs it to be able to play NFS:Carbon. So i was thinking in between these 4 cards as they are relatively the same price:

Diamond Viper Radeon X1650 Pro 600MHZ PCI-E 256MB 800MHZ GDDR2 Dual DVI-I HDTV Out Video Card - $68.99 After MIR

EVGA E-GEFORCE 8500GT 450MHZ 256MB 128BIT DDR2 PCI-E VGA DVI-I HDCP HDTV Out DIRECTX10 Video Card - $69.99 After MIR

Powercolor Radeon HD2400 Pro 525MHZ 256MB 800MHZ DDR2 PCI-E VGA DVI-I HDCP TV Out Video Card - $69.99

Sapphire Radeon X800 PCI-E 128MB 256BIT VGA DVI TV Out Video Card White Box - $48.99

I was leaning towards the HD2400, but the X800 does seem fairly reasonable for that price. Gonna order in the next hour, so please gimme a hint quick

ended up goin with the X800, best bang for buck, and if he only need NFS:C then thats perfect
