Looking for some help with graphics cards!

So I've just about had enough of the rotten GFX card my PC has, and I really want to update it. Therefore, I am asking for your assistance. I currently have a bottom of the line crap card, so pretty much anything would be an improvement. However, like many others here, money is a real issue for me. I don't have a lot of money to spend on this, but since I understand having a decent card won't come cheap, I am prepared to break open the old piggy bank to make this upgrade.

 

Basically, I'm tired of playing every game on low or minimum quality. Or not even being able to play it at all, in some cases. So what would be your suggestions as to what card would give me decent quality graphics without me having to spend an arm and a leg? (Just FYI, the top of my budget would be $300 at the moment.)

Wow...you were able to figure it out that quickly? Thank you! biggrin.png Brohoof to you, good sir. :3

First thing that came to mind, actually. It's a pretty good card for the price.

Well thanks again! My only concern is it looks like it'll be a bit of a tight fit at 9 inches long. :/

If you have to remove any hard drive cages to help it fit, then do so. You should remove any unused hard drive cages anyway to help with airflow.

I am more concerned with the location of the RAM sticks. It's very close to where the GFX slot is.
