uhh... prolly a Nivida or GeForce card would be your best bet. They're relitively good for the price

Or just mix what Robb said and get a Nvidia GeForce lol

Good bet to go with one of them, i've been using them for a while now, happy with them.

i kno that but which kind or model

What kinda computer you got? Does it have AGP slot, or PCI-express? If there is an AGP slot, those are typically cheaper than PCIe. Is your AGP slot 8x? 4x? Make sure you know before you buy. I know you're trying to do this on a budget, but you want the highest MB of RAM and the highest "clock speed" you can budget, but the higher RAM should probably come first in order of preference.

its pci express x16

with 2 gb of memory and amd athlon dual core x2 3800+ i think 350 w power supply

Okay, the 350w power supply is not going to power some of the higher-end graphics cards if you already have a loaded system... and PCI express is going to cost a little more than AGP. So, as I said before, go with the highest RAM on the card you can budget, but keep in mind you want a good core clock speed as well. Make sure you read the system requirements on the box and that it says it can run with your power supply. Nvidia is what I used for years, but I'm also pretty happy with the ATI Radeon I bought not long ago, look at some of your favorite games and see what the manufacturers recommend, for example all the GTA games say "Nvidia, the way it's meant to be played".

it dont care if it says made for nvidia or made for ati i just need a good graphic card fastest for around 100- 150 that can do some good gameing with fps and details on the pict.

Calm down, lol. All that is, is an advertisement. Now, if you ARE going to spring for a higher-end card, with out blowing your power supply (been there, done that lol ), spring for a newPower supply. They run pretty cheap. I'm pretty sure I saw a 500watt for $65 on newegg not too long ago

lol, yeah, I know that, Nvidia was making a few others like nforce, gforce, and quadro fx etc...

Looking at CompUSA's site and narrowing down by price, it doesn't look like you're going to get more than 256MB of RAM on your graphics card for $100-$150. I highly recommend budgeting $50 more for 512MB, that's what I have and I can play San Andreas (I know it's old news now but I love that game) with the draw distance maxed out and I can see miles down the road when I'm driving.

CompUSA's PCI Express Graphics Cards priced $100-$200

but i dont wanna mess up my comp with the new psu n stuff

damn it its 300 watt psu but i need a graphics card w/o changeing my psu n stuff dont want to break my comp lol damn i guess im screwed XD because its a new comp

since i dont use 2 hard drives and i only use 1 for it i have a dual core processor
and i only have 1 dvd burner drive i assume its not fully loaded. maybe half

i dont use floppy n sound or vid card thats y i wanna upgrade cause i have built in sound and graphic card
