What is the processor of the Video card do you have, Nvidia or ATI? Who is the manufacturer?(example: EVGA, PNY, XFX) And what model is it?(example: X1300, 7300GS, 7800GT)
Give us that info, and how much you are willing to spend. |

PSU
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817371005 Vid Card http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814150216 Everyone is going to tell you to wait for the new series graphics cards though, if you plan on switching to Vista and doing a lot of gaming I would say wait otherwise do no worry about it. Cheaper Vid Card. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814153032 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814131029 Not so sure about the jetway brand, but it is cheap.

I'd avoid the X1600Pro. It's a poor video card for the price, you're paying a huge premium for the HDMI output. You'd be better to grab a X1950Pro, 7900GS or 7600GT if you budget is tight.
Whats' your budget for the PSU? Or is that included in the $100-$200?

Not any more, that PSU was free after rebate up until yesterday or the day before. You can always wait a while and see if it comes back in, but it sounds like you want it sooner than that. For free, the Ultra is a superb deal. For ~$40, I'd sooner grab an XClio 450BL from newegg though.
