Need a new video card

[DPtheGod]

Hey, so, I got my tax return and so far I've decided to pick up a 4 GB of RAM kit (2x2GB sticks) and now I want to change my video card. Reason being, I have a weak 256MB video card in here that also takes system memory. So, I only have 1.5 GB of RAM right now. In addition, the video card was cheap.

So, I don't really know what to look for when finding a video card. I want one that will operate some basic gaming (I play Guild Wars from time to time, Medal of Honor games, I have Two Worlds but cannot play it due to my video card), and I may want to pick up some games here and there.

But, I'm also looking for a budget card. Nothing too pricey. I just spent $60 on the RAM, including shipping.

So, can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance!

Edit: Oh yeah, I was going to mention that I was looking at this model right here:

Well the question i'm wondering is, what are you willing to spend? what is your budget?

The 6200 is not a gaming card and is quite ancient in technology time . For about double that price you can get something that will perform unbelievably better than that card. I have a PNY 6200 card and it is on par with a Integrated Geforce 8100.

Here are some cards:

For a little more than the card you were looking at is this 9400GT for $44.99 (which is not a great gaming card in comparison to those i will list but is heaps better than the 6200) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814187036

HD 3850 $69.99 (this card can handle the games you play with ease but also depends at what resolution you play them at. Though it will not be up to par with new gen games) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102794

HD 4830 $99.99 (same as above except this one will be OK for newer games) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102803

9600GT $99.99 (same as HD 4830 however the 4830 performs better in general however this one is fanless, creating no noise)http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125098

HD 4850 $129.99 (will likely handle anything you throw at it) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814131125

9800GTX+ $149.99 (same as 4850) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814187052
