Sigh, I found it on newegg (link) but I guess it is at a different location because I can't select will-call for it. This card, which seems very similar, does have will-call though, what do you think? GIGABYTE GV-N750OC-1GI GeForce GTX 750 1GB 128-Bit GDDR5 All GTX 750 1GB's are pretty much the same except for the manufacturer and fan used. They will all perform somewhat similarly, so I'd say go for it. I like Gigabyte, and their RMA service is great, in case you do need to RMA. All I needed to hear, just ordered. Gonna go pick it up! Thank you

That's what I was thinking, that the rest of my PC is a bottleneck for some of these recommended cards. I do want to build a PC sometime in the near future, but I would still keep this one running just more for multimedia purposes and no gaming.I definitely just want something to get my PC to work. Mostly will be playing the new counter-strike anyway which barely needs any VGA power. Are there any cards that are even under $100 that would work for the new counter-strike game and later just for watching movies / using internet? Thanks for all the help guys, y'all are the best. I forgot how nice everyone here is.... definitely getting back to this forum! The AMD R7 250X is probably one of the best cards you can get under $100 (ex sales tax): http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=-1&IsNodeId=1&Description=r7%20250x&bop=And&Order=PRICE&PageSize=20 It's basically the same card as the HD7770 and if you look it up on youtube, people are getting 80-150 FPS on the highest settings with that card. I'm not sure if you can get the same results with your E6600 though, since the game depends more on the CPU. Making the purchase within the next hour, I was thinking maybe this card? EVGA 02G-P4-2643-KR GeForce GT 640 2GB 128-Bit DDR3 PCI Express 3.0 x16 I decided under $100 is my best bet, it is a temporary gaming card for a temporary gaming build. I will just wait for a higher-priced / higher-end card when I decide to fully build a new PC in the nearish future, leaving this build to be a strictly media center/internet PC. The other card would be this one, not sure if the brand new above one is better (1GB more memory, older memory technology) EVGA 01G-P4-2650-RX GeForce GTX 650 1GB 128-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16

I will definitely looking into the eVga lifetime warranty. But would still like to pick up a card now, and maybe just have a spare one for another build if eVga decides to send me one. What do you guys think of this card: PNY VCGGTX660XPB GeForce GTX 660 2GB 192-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16Maybe some recommendations on better cards for same price / cheaper cards with same performance. Another one I was thinking, even though more expensive is: EVGA SuperClocked 02G-P4-2765-KR GeForce GTX 760 2GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 SLI Support w/ EVGA ACX Cooler Video Card

Thanks for the reply. I really don't know the differences in these cards. And I thought ATI w/ AMD and nVidia w/ Intel? Maybe I am completely wrong there. I will definitely order from NewEgg, due to their will-call center being in my city. And great return policy/customer service. So, GTX 760 or 670 seems like what I should be looking at? Also, what is all this new "use your VGA/CPU to mine bitcoins" thing I keep seeing? Can I really use my PC to just generate currency? What is the cost of this to me (besides, I am assuming, using electricity and the stress of constantly running non-idle)?

THE LAST POST OF THIS THREAD IS BASICALLY WHAT I AM DECIDING ON, THE INFORMATION BELOW WAS WHAT I WAS ORIGINALLY THINKING BUT HAVE SINCE RECONSIDERED. Haven't touched my PC in years. Last upgrade to it was in 2011. Has been in pieces for most of the last three years. Trying to get back into a little bit of gaming and just my computer in general. I found all my old parts, slapped em together yesterday, only to find that my eVga 8800GT had been destroyed (not exactly sure how, maybe storage in 120+F conditions. looked like melted plastic under the heatsink?) Either way, I now have everything put together but no video card. Luckily, NewEgg has will-call where I live, so I can order the part and pick it up within the hour or two. I have $250 to spend, I'd like to spend more in the $120 - $200 range. Obviously don't need anything super high end right now. But I have been out of the whole PC loop for quite some time, everything has obviously changed in the last 4+ years. Here is my current build, and any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. (I was a big nVidia eVga fanboy back then, not sure how they fair today.) Old/Dead Video Card: EVGA 320-P2-N811-AR e-GeForce 8800 GTS 320MB Case: COOLER MASTER RC-690-KKN1-GP Motherboard: Intel BLKD975XBXLKR Processor: Intel Core2Duo E6600 (Can't remember exactly nor find receipt) Ram: G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) F2-8500CL5D-4GBPK Patriot Extreme Performance 2GB (2 x 1GB) DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) PDC22G6400LLK Power Supply: FSP Group AURUM GOLD 750W ATX12V/EPS12V I'm sure most of it is super outdated, but it is what it is and what I am currently working with (makes me want to throw up looking at the prices I paid for all those parts.... all in the $200 - $300+ range/each at the time) So with all that in mind, any help is beyond appreciated. Thanks everyone.

What's going on? lol

Uhh, the DVD is like a normal game, it sells for $60... http://www.gamestop.com/Catalog/ProductDet...roduct_id=71886

I don't get exactly how this works....random people come up to you and say they have super cheap speakers and do you wanna buy them? lol

Look at those nails Bad doggy lol

Way too small. There is no distinction between anything that is going on in it :S

How are you gonna do speakers with the 360 and the PC? For the 360, the speakers would be around the TV / room of the TV. For the PC they should be around where you are sitting more or less. Unless, are you hooking up the PC to the TV as a monitor?

Which is the best laptop:price ratio out of these: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList....00%20-%20%24750
