Im wanting to upgrade my video card to play the nigher end games. Currently with COD MW2 i have to have all the settings on low, with anti aliasing off etc. My big question is when i upgrade the video card will my other computer componets still limit my use of it. Im trying to keep the video card around $150 and same for motherboard/cpu if needed. Any advice on what would be the best buy for the money on a video card and moth./cpu if needed would be great as well. Thanks guys.
