Hi,

Well ive build a basic pc with 512mb of now and Athlon 64 on the new AM2 board type. Also a 160GB sata hard drive.

Id like to add in a 256mb graphics card so that the pc stops nicking 128 from my 512! Also id like to add in a digital tv tuner card.

What would you suggest thats not expensive? Also where do you think ill get the best prices?

What country are you in?
Re TV card, i'd recommend the one i've got (Compro DVB-T300) as it is capable of doing both Analoge & Digital Signals.
It also has a neat feature which lets you set it as you windows wallpaper, so you can watch tv while you still have access to all your icons etc.

It has recording function, and can be setup to Turn your pc on at a set time/date and start recording on a set channel then turn off the pc when its finished(dependant on your MB).

Oh.... and batteries are included for the remote

What's your budget? 'Not expensive' is a terribly wide definition.

Best for your money IMO on Ebay B.F.G. 7900 GT OC 256. You can get one for just over $200.00 I'm currently bidding on a second one so I can run SLI.

I ended up winning the auction and paid $202.50
