Video Card

[dgolverk]

Hi,
I bought a new computer to my sister but I need also to order a video card, she is not playing too much games. She like to play games such as call of duty, americas army, warcraft and games like that not anything too heavy.
My budget's pretty low now - about $90CAD any ideas for PCI-E VGA?
I thought buying 7300GS or something, how good would games run on it?
Thank you very much.

This if you don't mind an open box card: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814141039R
This one if you care about SM3: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814131007
Or you can get a X1600PRO

Well, I live in Canada and it's a bit expensive here...
Any more advices? anything you can say about the 7300GS?

I'll do a little searching. I really don't think a 7300GS is a good choice.

Get the 7300 GT if you can, quite a good card for its price, and better than the GS.

You could probably find a good cheap 9700 or 9800 Pro. Also look on Ebay and see what they have...

Something along the lines of 7300GT, 6600GT, 9800/9700pro or even a used 6800/X800.

A 7300GS would be alright since games like warcraft isnt really graphic intensive.
