I would say no more than 120 for a video card, and then use the rest for a video card. 7900gt or something.

That and or a little more hdd space, music and videos will eat up 80gb quick.
 
Not really because the GT has 4 more pipelines than the GS. That GS is overclocked. You can overclock the GT as well.

Lol.

The second videocard is better than the first.
 
Ok so i go with the GT i have around 100bucks still i need more hard drive space or should i go with some more ram. Or should i keep my 7600GT and get more ram and hard drive space? Or maybe you have better solutions i know my mobo is a worthless piece lol.
 
This 7950GT looks nice:

If you're a gamer, another gig of ram will do you good. Also I would say, if the 7600GT still keeps you happy, get another gig of ram and more hard drive space. Heres a nice hard drive, if you're looking for one:

Options are:
if 7600GT still plays good, then get another gig of ram and more hard drive space.

or

get a 7900GT and more hard drive space

or

7900GT and a gig of ram

...The 7900GT with another gig of ram option, would be the most beneficial for gaming.
 
Will that 7950GT blow past that 7900GT i mean its hardly even more so if i did go with the graphics i would get the 7950GT. Is there a cheaper hard drive around that size remember im on a $300 budget. Thanks guys
