How much do you want to actually spend Don really is the question because all prices Are different. I Just Bought An new All in wonder 8X Video card for a new machine that I am building and i paid 230 for it at Frys. It depends on what you want. This new card I can't comment on just yet since we're still getting parts together for this new machine and i won't be able to comment on the new machine till the beginning of 2004 but let me say that the all in wonder is rated quite high. It's all video and a tv stereo tuner card so it would be a good one. Always try and think about what you'd like and what you are willing to spend. I haven't built a new system in 3 years and it's time for me although this machine runs fantastic but time to update to new and hopefully greater technology. Look at it this way if you put in cheap fans they will give you trouble. My honest recommendation for products is Outpost.com which is Frys Electronics. They can sell you stuff at great prices for the most part. We have built oh goodness dozens of systems on my dining room table for people and rarely have we ever had to return stuff to frys. Pinical makes a great card for around 80. I understand the software is quite excessible. it's a tv tuner card with video. Now if tv tuning is not your interest then you can find video cards for 12 bucks but be aware that you will want to make sure that your mother board will support the card. I hope this info is helpful.
