I need a PCI-E vid card 256 or greater. Anyone willing to give me one out of the kindness of their hearts? I guess not...so can anyone just tell me the best ones in the price range of 100 - 300 =/ and how would I go about installing it without killing my computer in the process.
need new vid card.

First and foremost, do some research on your motherboard/chipset, and find out the best brand (nvidia or ati) that will work and/or have the best performance from it. Also, Some bigger cards require extra power from your PSU, so make sure you have enough power for that.
Other than that I think it just comes down to how much money you want to spend, and what type of card (gaming/media) you need.
This is nice if you are willing to spend a little more:

And this would be great if your on a budget:

when you say " how would i go about installing it" are you trying to say you have never upgraded/ modified your hardware?

and this fits into the 100-300 dollar price range....people who dont read others posts annoy me
If you are looking a nice card check out the gforce 7900GS its a very cheap card these days and does a pretty reasonable job. I got mine for £125 ($250) back in february so im sure they are cheaper now. Other than that possibly a 7900 gtx if u have a lttle more to spend, i really wouldnt touch DX 10 cards unless your gonna go for the mentioned 8800 series.

you should prolly buy the nvdid geforce 7950gt.it´s about 150 bucks and it works fine with every game i played so far.

If you go DX10, then don't settle for anything less than an 8800. I have an 8600gt and it performs great, but not good enough.
