I'm building a PC right now, and am trying to decide on a video card. I could care less as to it being an ATI or NVIDIA, but I want something that will be able to handle games like Far Cry, Half-life 2, and Doom 3. I'm wanting to pay under $200 for one also. Could someone provide a link for one that may fit my needs?
Video card, affordable

Well, your only option is the 9800 Pro
You could get a 9600XT that will play HL2 and DOOM3, but not at full detail and with a playable FPS
The 9800 Pro is right there around $200 and on newegg.com there is a Sapphire for $172

i would get a 9600 XT. Here it is. http://www.buyxtremegear.com/r9600xt256oem.html Its 8x AGP so the motherboard you are gonna choose, which is probley gonna be 8x (all the new motherboards). But if ur gonna get a 4x AGP, then your gonna need a 4X AGP card. Which is seen here, http://www.fticomputer.com/cgis/detail.cgi?product=VB-PC-ATI-R96XT-SI-128M&ses=&cat=VB

The 9800Pro has a much better price to performance ratio Its alot faster and only about $20 bucks more I can play Far Cry at full detail and everything, so I have no doubt it can run HL2 and Doom3 very well

Umm monster... i have a radeon 9600 xt 256 and it works fine with my agp 4x main board. It just says it is fully compatible with the new agp 8 x it still supports 4x....
