Budget Video card for 2nd PC

[JerYnkFan]

I have a second PC that is used mainly for browsing the internet, but I would like to use it occasionaly to play WOW. I don't need to it run with all the bells and whistle I was thinking about putting a 4630, 4650, 3650 or 9500GT PCI-E card in it. What do you guys think?

The other specs are:

P4 2.8 -- will upgrade to either C2D or Pentium D at some point in the future.
2 GB PC-5300
Antec 430W True Power PSU


Thanks.

what is your current motherboard? do you know if your current motherboard has either an AGP 4x/X8 or PCI-E 16x slot? what is your budget range as well? take a look at the ati 3850 and 3870 videocards. They have the 256mbit memory bus, which will help out on the performance, currently on newegg $60 to $130. Where as the ones you listed in your op, from my quick research on newegg, they only have 128mbit memory bus.

I have an ASRock 775Twins-HDTV which has both AGP and PCI-Ex16 so I would go for the PCI-E if I had my choice. I would ideally like to spend no more than around 75 bucks.
