Best Vid. Card for 120

[epidemik]

im trying to build a budget gaming computer. i want a video card that will handle new games but it needs to be cheap. Is it possible to get one for 120 USD or less? Which one would be good? I would prefer it being SLi ready but its not essential.

I was thinking about the GeForce 6600. Is this a good card?

If you want an SLI card, get the 6600GT for ~$115. Dont get the 6600.

Oh i thought the 6600 had SLi.
Is SLi worth it? I would probaly upgrade later.
its an extra 15 USD.
Is that the best card in my price range?
Will it handle curent games (COD 2, BF2) or should i try to save up a little more?

the 6600 is SLI capable, but the 6600GT has much better performance. My friend has that card and can play all the latest games on medium-high settings. He has an AMD 64 3500+ and 1GB Corsair ValueSelect.

So the 6600GT is better than the Radeon X700 (i was originally planning on this one)?

Will my motherboard support SLi (the one in my sig)?
I couldnt find out from the newegg page.

Now i will also need a good cheap Mobo that supports SLi?
Socket 939
Trying to stay under 90 USD would be best.

EDIT: I would also like the mobo to support RAID. Should i make a new thread?

No, the one in your sig only has 1 PCI-E x16 slot.

Pretty much all new motherboards have RAID 0/1 support.
