I just bought a new desktop at a good price, the performance is great but it has onboard graphics.
I want to get a video card but I don't know what I should get, thats where you guys come in.
I want something that will utilize my sytem to its fullest, but I also want my system to use the video card to its fullest, I don't want the video card to be too good that I can't harness its power, I also don't want to upgrade my power supply.
I am looking to spend around $70-$120.
The case is huge so I don't need to worry about it taking up too much space, I don't care if it runs hot because I have good airflow in the room, and I don't care about it being loud, just pure performance and price.
The only thing that needs to be considered is that my power supply is only 400 Watts.
