Need to get a new video card. My power supply just blew taking with it my FX5200. Trying to figure out what to buy, but inexpensive is the name of the game. I don't play any FPS, actually I only play WoW(World of Warcraft.) Look for something with Nvidia chipset. Any thoughts?

Welcome to Anantech.

A used Geforce4 Titanium would be a very cheap option.

A 6600 or 6600gt would be fairly affordable modern nvidia options. How cheap are you talking about?

A used Nvidia Geforce 4 ($40-$60) would be faster then the 5200 you had .. a better choice IMO would be an ATI Radeon 9600 Pro for about the same price because it supports DX9, a used ATI Radeon 9800 Pro for a few bucks more ($75-$90) would be a lot faster then that & an Nvidia 6600GT would be about the same performance & price used as the 9800 Pro, but likely around $130 new. (although I've seen a few recently that were $100 +/- after mail-in rebates)
