Need help choosing a video card for my pc?

I must admit I got hooked on WoW and need better graphic performance. I have no idea on what video card to get. I want to spend around $150. Please view my pc's specs to help me out.

did you know what you bought when you bought this computer? id think someone who owns this computer would know what kind of card to get?



anyways..



see how it says:

PCI Express X16 Slots 1



that means you can put one PCI -E graphics card in there.



you can get any card that is PCI E and NOT agp



never buy the best card because every 3 months a newer one comes out and no one can keep up with it; so save your money.



you want a card with 1GB or more of memory



the best one i can think of would be the GeForce 9800 GT.



it would be on tigerdirect.com under EVGA GeForce 9800 GT Video Card|||When you look for a graphics card, see if it is a dedicated one, with at least 256-512 MB of RAM.



the one currently on your desktop is integrated



In other words, a dedicated gfx (graphics card) has its own RAM to work with. An integrated one shares memory with the actual computer RAM instead, which significantly lowers its performance|||heyy, i think if u could find a nvidea geforce 9800gt that would be perfect to run WOW. and looking at ure computer specs, you have the right slot for it sooo yeaaaa :):)

hopw this helps|||The ATI Radeon HD 4850 or Nvidia Geforce GTX 260 would work well. They're both PCI 2.0 x16 which should work with your rig.|||If you can get a 4870 for less than $150 then go for it.

I'm sure that even something like GeForce 9600GT or AMD 4850 will be more than sufficient for WoW
