Best card for the money and the rebate puts it right in your price range. As said, make sure you've got pci express before you buy.

Jorsoft Fully Optimized Messages 4,581 Location Oakdale, MN Feb 9, 2007 #10 Okay, then that 7600gt is going to be your best bet. Most new games should run just fine on your pc with that card on mid-settings or so.
