vid cards

[hate]

All -

Need some help picking out a decent vid card... mind you I say decent. I am not a huge gamer, meaning really about the only game I play online much anymore is CS:S and (with the new card) I would pick up CS:GO.

My current specs on the computer I have are mainly

AMD quadcore
8 gigs ram
using onboard video.

I would like to get something decent for 100-125 range. I am not stuck on ATI or Nvidia, so all options are open. I realize that there are great cards out there for 300-500 range, but like I said i really can't justify spending that much with how little gaming I do....

Thanks in advance.

^^ That's kind of what I had been looking at getting.

That card is pretty nice. That should run Counter Strike flawlessly.

Save yourself a good $20 imo. Good budget card.

Deal just got even better for the card I recommended. I say jump on it now. $101 after rebate for a 650 Ti is quite impressive. Thats almost $40 cheaper than the one you were considering.

Agreed; even this card is more than that AMD system can drive. My other desktop is an AMD quad core phenom and it can't even fully utilize a Radeon HD 7750.

If you aren't concerned about budget then fine but if you want to save money while still putting in more GPU horse power than your box can fully leverage then you can get even cheaper cards.
