a good one is the gts 450 thats the one i have now and i love everything about it definitely get that one i get around 30 fps on 1440x900 resolution and almost highest setting with Cuban Ultima Doom Sword's Custom Crysis Config [CCC] v1.31, lowest price i found was $99.99 at dell.com highest was $129.82 (in a span of 5 prices) so i say buy it from anywhere and your guaranteed a great deal and you can also over clock it (if you into that thing i don't do it my card crashes and restarts but I'm probably doing something wrong you might be able to do it better...if you know how) but i don't recommend it. buy the card you'll love it nuff said pm me later to tell me how awesome it is

GTS 450 is a tad on the weak side. A GTX 460 or a Radeon 6850 would probably suit you better in the long term, and they straddle the sweet spot of value very well. Or a prior generation Radeon 5830 at 100 bucks would be suitable as well. More like 105 after rebate from the tigerdirect, but if you're a first time customer, you can get an additional 10 bucks off with one of their coupon offers. That would be my suggestion personally.

well how old is your computer and how big is your power supply ? i have a sapphire ati radeon hd 4650 1gb (apg) cost me 70 euros last christmas and its cheap and verry powerful and it would be roughly $100 or you can get a 512mb for 40 euros info here Gpureview.com
i would go asus or ati
ps got mine on amazon
hope i helped

Thank you all for your help, but i will probalbly go with Radeon 5830 or Radeon 6850....
