Looking for a video card.

[Adn4n]

I'm building my first system right now and I'm looking for a video card under $200 that will run smoothly.
My system consists of:

ASUS P4C800-E DELUXE Motherboard
P4 2.8GHz Prescott
KINGSTON HyperX Series 184-pin 1GB Kit (2x512MB) DDR333 (PC2700) DDR RAM

I'm going to OC, but I'm clueless as to which video card to get. Any help would be much appreciated.

get a Radeon 9800 Pro. Try to find one that is 256 bit and used the R360 core. Then since you know you are going to overclock, you can flash it to a modified R9800XT. This will probably require better cooling which would require you to change out the heatsink most likely.

Lots of work, but best performance for the cheapest.

As GtPrOjEcTX has suggested, a 256-bit 9800 Pro that can easily be flashed to a 9800 XT, all for only $194.99 shipped.

or could take a gamble with a refurbished card, and get the 256mb version for $206

Thanks a lot for the advice. I think I'll go with the 9800 pro then.
