Im not sure what kind of games your going to want to play but a 9200 will be very lacking in just about every category. Only has a 64 bit interface. newer cards have 128 and 256bit.

You should try and hunt down the 128bit memory model of the 9200.... it shouldnt cost more than $5 more and gives you a decent shot at games.

Well for now I'll settle with this one, maybe in the near future I'll upgrade it, any recommendation on what I should get, something w/c will fit my budget maybe around $60. Thanks Guys
