Building a gaming PC, but that's not what this card is for. I just need a temporary upgrade for my current system until I get all of the parts together.
-----------------------
APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: Possibly today, but within the next 1-2 weeks to be safe.
BUDGET RANGE: Very strongly leaning towards anything under USD $50, but I'm not totally opposed to anything under USD $100
USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: Most important is gaming. But not Crysis 2 at full every-single-dust-particle-can-be-seen settings. Just things like TF2, Portal 2, hopefully Fallout 3. Nothing needs to be max settings.
CURRENT GPU AND POWER SUPPLY: I currently have Intel G33/G31 Express Chipset Family integrated graphics and for PSU I'm using the Antec High Current Gamer 620w that I'm going to use in a future build.
OTHER RELEVANT SYSTEM SPECS:
CPU-----------Intel Core 2 Duo E6750
MB-------------Intel DG31PR (J3E1)
Memory-------2x1gb Kingston DDR2 PC2-5300, but I will be upgrading that too. Please see this thread if you can help with that.
PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: My priority is somewhere that I can pick it up in store, which would be Best Buy and TigerDirect/CompUSA that I know of in my area. But I have had good experience ordering off of Newegg if I do order it.
PARTS PREFERENCES: N/A, but I've been looking at a lot of GeForce's
OVERCLOCKING: No SLI OR CROSSFIRE: Maybe
MONITOR RESOLUTION: The max is 1680x1050 but I'm using 1280x960. It's an HP f2105 monitor.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: Will post cards that I have interest in to see if they're any good.
