I need some help choosing a videocard and soundcard for certain price.

[awsskater892]

Hi, I have a computer and the video card is VERY crappy and im not even using a sound card, just whats on the motherboard. I really want the best for my money, but dont want to spend much.

For the video card it has to be agp 4x, and im hoping to spend not much more then 100-120$

And for the sound card i want it to be pritty decent, best possible for about 60-90$.

Any suggestions will help. thanks -Nick

with that setup I would look for a radeon 9800 pro. anything beyond that would be bottlenecked by your system and a waste of money.

Or if you like Nvidia, the 6800XT
