    Need some help...again!

    Probably by now most of you have seen the "Need help picking out shoes" thread.
    Made by yours truly;this time I need some help picking out a....
    -drum roll-














    Graphics card!
    I am allowed to choose my presents but I really suck at computers when it comes to hardware.I currently have a Nvidia Geforce 6150LE which is complete shit.
    I really don't know what to get.
    I have modern warfare 2 and my graphics card is to shitty to play.
    With the help of the wisdom of the sythe forumers I will be able to play it.
    This year is my computer upgrade year.
    And I really can't be fucked buying one so I need someone to give me some suggestions.
    MY SPENDING LIMIT IS $70 USD;anyone have any suggestions please post.

    That's not going to do so well with Modern Warfare 2.

    I think there is a sale on the PNY 240 GT right now, it's only 89.99 with a mail in rebate at Frys if you have one in your area.

    I just woke up and probably won't be able to think of anything for the next 30 minutes, but the minimum requirements on Modern Warfare 2 are

    Minimum System Requirements:
    Hard Drive Space: 16GB free hard drive space
    Operating System: XP / Windows Vista / Windows 7
    Processor: AMD 64 3200+ or Intel Pentium 4 3.0GHz or better
    RAM: 512MB RAM (XP) / 1GB RAM (Vista)
    Video Card: Shader 3.0 or better 256MB Nvidia GeForce 6600GT / ATI Radeon 1600XT or better

    You don't necessarily need one of those new 1GB DDR3 GPU's, but it would be wise to get some 8600 GT or better so it doesn't go obsolete right away.

    Well I'm looking towards getting a graphics card with 1GB memory or so.
    8600GT is pretty pricey isn't it?

    Yes the 8600 GT is around 110$ if I remember correctly, but you never know with Christmas sales. It also depends on which reseller you go with. A lot of PNY cards are on sale this year.
