wel for the games that are coming out u will need a high powered machine you would be looking to spend about $800-$1000
it hard to say what sort of machine to get without knowing your budget,
i would advise getting something like Dell XPS. if you dont know how to build your own. or a ATI x1900 series of if you do.
Geforce w/ Nvidia
Gefore has series 5000, 6000, 7000. You can also choose your memery size 64mb, 128mb, 256mb, 512mb, and the very expensive 640mb, 728mb. I would suggest for modern games like FEAR no less than a 6000 series 256mb card. You will also need to check your motherboard capatibilty. There is PCI (4x), AGP (8x), and PCI Express (16x). Most motherboards have a AGP or PCIEX slot. Very new boards have PCIEX. If you don’t have a AGP or PCIEX slot, I would suggest a new computer first.
I would not go with a ATI Radeon series, unless it was a very good deal.
When you are ready to buy a new system, go to. I buy all of my stuff from them, and everything is Vista ready.
Microsoft is about to release its latest operating system, Vista, in January. It’s going to make all of these “bargain†computers nothing but JUNK as soon as it’s released. The reason that you are seeing so many cheap systems on the market right now is because a lot of them CAN’T RUN Vista and the merchants are trying to dump them as hard and fast as they can before Vista shows up and everyone learns what a piece of crap they were sold for $500 (or whatever).
Anyway, I bought a complete, new system from stupidcheapcomputers.net with a warranty for LESS than it would cost me to build it myself or order a custom one from the manufacturer. You can use my frequent buyer code: ATX926. That will get an additional 10% discount at checkout.
I have NEVER had any problems with anything that they have sold me and their customer service is outstanding. Those guys blow my mind.
personaly nvidia is best for games out or coming out if you cant afford a decent compter then dont bother looking for a decent graphics card it costs less to buy a decent computer than a decent graphics card.

you could get an Nvidia gforce for with at least 64 mb of memory. That should be enough. or any video card with it’s own memory Ãœ
