Hi could someone help me on choosing a new video card for my computer. I bought mine from hp so it didn't come with a GPU. I am mainly getting a video card so i can play Battlefield 2. What is the best one i can get for around 100$- 200$ Canadian $$$.

What model is your HP? I'm guessing that it has a PCI-E slot?

The 7600GT vs X1650XT benchtests go back & forth, depending on the games & the settings used. The X1650XT probably has the edge, but it's pretty close. Either would be a good choice, but I think the 7600GT is quite a bit cheaper
The 7600GT is $115 at TigerDirect/Canada:

The X1650XT is $177:

Maybe you can find a better deal someplace else but IMO, the X1650XT isn't $62 better than the 7600GT.
Here's another Canadian site you can check out:
