    I'm not building a gaming computer although that's essentially what I've got inside, but I do need a PCIe video card that won't break the bank. I play some online games but mostly do DVD burning so I went for processor speed and ended up with more computer than I know what to do with :)) Recommendations greatly appreaciated. I do most of my buying at Tiger Direct but that's also open for recommendation. I really can't afford anything beyond say $125. and that's pushing it. I also want to use it to record TV shows to the hard drive.

    Well if your building a "Gaming" computer you may want to dish out a bit more for the graphics card as the Geforce 6600 is quickly going out of date.
    I personally recommend:

    Thats a good one if your prepared to dish out a bit more

    (Lol Sammoris!! i love that card now!)
