Which is the right graphics card for me?
I currently have an Nvidia FX 5200, and it always lets me down because I am an online gamer.
So I was just wondering if anyone could give me any tips on what Graphics Card I should get. I don't want to spend too much, so i'll only be willing to spend one under $100. The game that i play is Counter-Strike Source, I was just letting you know so you know what performance I'd be aiming for. System Info: Windows XP Sp2 Ram: 1535mb |

An HD 3650 or 8600GT will be good enough. Check your PSU (Power Supply Unit) sticker to make sure it has at least 16-18A on the +12V rail. This is what a typical PSU sticker looks like.
 What you're looking for is the number underneath "+12V". |

open the case and look on the PSU it will be located on the bottom or top of the inside case.
