well since i wouldn't buy an ati i suggest getting a nvid in the first place, but that is your call. with that kind of money to blow i would go with the geforce 4 ti4200, it can handle any game that is out now and any that might come out any time soon (excpetion to dom 3 as it reqires 256 mb on the vid card). but the graphics for the 4200 are stellar and i have get to have any problems. with a price of about 100 bucks you cannot beat it, hope this helps
