Ok I have about 160 give or take a bit for a Video card I want to get rid of my Geforce 3 as it is starting to wear out, now at first I was just all Nvidia but I want to know what is the best buyat this price range ????

 
Radeon 9500 pro at $177 newegg (sapphire) is best in terms of benches, though I'm still a little wary of ATI's drivers.

Other than that, some hot deal on a ti 4600 ?

Best might be to hold on and keep saving & waiting for price drops on better cards. The fan is the only part of the gf3 that will "wear out" and a $10 replacement would fix that. Getting something like a fx 5200 isn't really an upgrade from what you have now unless it's a ti200 running at stock speed.

 
Thanks guys I most likely will wait, other than that what cards should I keep in mind when they do come down in range ?
FX ? Radeon and so on ?
All this advice is GREATLY appreciated !!!
 
Radeon 9700 non pro if you can find it for what you can afford. Or 9500 pro . And down the road the Radeon 9900 (R400?).
