get a discrete graphics card, since you were willing to settle with integrated.. an 8500gt is fine... or maybe a 2400pro or 2400xt

says it all

not to me Toryn! 85oogt, 2400pro 2400xt! means nothing to me aside from model numbers! what models?

 

[slyfxsi]

256MB Leadtek 8500GT, PCI-E (x16), Mem 800 MHz, GDDR2, GPU 490 MHz, D-Sub/Dual Link DVI-I/HDTV...........Would this item here fit the bill?

If you're not planning on much gaming, or at all, it's fine.

what would i need for gaming then? what should i be looking for?

 

[slyfxsi]

256MB XFX 7900GS XXX, PCI-E (x16), Mem 1600 MHz, GPU 600 MHz, 20 Pipes, Dual DVI/HDTV
would the above graphics card be any good? sits in my price range well? or any other cheaper alternatives?

^ thats a good for gaming.. but i thought since you were willing to get integrated graphics, you didn't need a good one... but a 7900gs is good, but an x1950xt is better!!

whats your budget on a gfx card? What games do you wanna play and on what resolution?

 

[slyfxsi]

what do you mean by intergrated graphics? and well i havnt stared to play on here yet as never botherd, but iu thought seeing as how im updating evrything else just want to make it future proof!

ASUS 8600GT 256MB GDDR3 Dual DVI HDTV out PCI-E Graphics Card, whilst price comparing, ebuyer with scan, i came across the above graphics card! the new motherboard going in has a (PCI Express x16) so its just a case of slotting it in and running a driver?
budget...Max 100 quid
