Well, whats your budget? What CPU is your PC? How much did it cost (cost will give me an idea of it's general specs)? RAM?

An exact model number on the computer you bought would be even better, so I can look it up online.

Mainly need to know your exact budget though. If you can spend a hundred ATI 4850 sounds right up your alley. I'd just worry if you power supply can handle any of these cards.

Also, what is your monitors native resolution?

If you can afford 80-90, a 9600GT is a nice choice. Also will go easy on your power supply.

All these prices I'm mentioning are via newegg btw.

Right now there is a Asus 9600 GSO on newegg for 59.99, with a $20 rebate too boot. That would be by far your best cheap choice if your power supply can handle it. It's pretty fast.

As for the monitors native resolution and such... I don't know really... it's from my old computer.

Don't care so much about it looking nice so much as playing nice. I'm the kind of guy that cranks down the graphics on everything to minimium just to get the best performance.
