    It seems that the new PC games coming out just wont play unless I upgrade the graphics card. Heres what I have, If I need to provide more info let me know. I am looking to spend no more than $60, hopefully thats enough to get a pretty good card, if not I might be able to go a bit higher. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thank you very much. - Gary

    You can get a Radeon HD4650 for that price, which will help you out a great deal, but to run today's top titles you really need to buy a new PC as you will need a dual core processor to run the likes of Fallout 3, Call of Duty:World at War, Left 4 Dead and so on...
