I need help figuring out which video card I need!

[Papa C Gregz]

i have a HP Pavilion a6519fh Desktop PC with OS windows vista (dont know what bit) and my video card kinda sucks, and i bought the game GTA IV, and it says that i need to upgrade my video card, and thats the trouble that im having. i have read info about needing to try and find what motherboard name i have. here it is:

•Manufacturer: Asus
•Motherboard Name: IPIBL-LB
•HP/Compaq motherboard name: Benicia-GL8E

the price range of a video card that plays GTA IV fairly well, is no more than $100 if possible.

This look like your motherboard.
Looks like you have a PCI-e.
Could you be more specific about your computer? It looks like you probably have an E2180.

Even if you do get a high end video card, I'm quite sure that your slow cpu will be the bottleneck.

do you have any recomendations on what kind i should get?

This might be just for you SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 5670 $77.99. i dont recommend anything better than this without you buying a new power supply too.
