If you're going for a low end video card, get a 6200TC or something. 7300GS is just not worth it.

No.... if you're spending that much for graphics, get a 6600:

...also get another 512mb ram.

The video card links don't work, but the 6600 would be a better choice...the 7300 series just sux. Can you afford another 512 ram?
