Can someone recommend a good video card?

Hi,

I'm looking to get a video card for my current PC, right now it's just the integrated and it's seriously lacking for games I play. Right now I play League of Legends and The Sims3, so not a lot of hardcore 3D gaming (nor do I plan to).



I want to spend like $150 max on a graphics card, but obviously saving money would be nice too.



My computer is a:



HP Compaq DC5700

Processor is: Intel® Celeron® D Processor 347 / 420 (1.6 to 3.06 GHz, 512 KB L2 cache, 533 or 800 MHz FSB) or Intel® Pentium® 4 Processor 524 / 651 / 661 with HT Technology (3.06 to 3.6 GHz, 1 MB L2 cache, 533 or 800 MHz FSB) or Intel® Pentium® Dual Core E2160 (1.8 GHz, 1 MB L2 cache, 800 MHz FSB) or Intel® Pentium® D Processor Dual Core 820 / 915 / 925 / 945 (2.8 to 3.4 GHz, 4 MB L2 cache, 800 MHz FSB) or Intel® Core 2 Duo Processor E4300 / E4500 / E6300 / E6320 / E6400 / E6600 (1.80 to 2.40 GHz, 2 or 4 MB L2 cache, 1066 MHz FSB)



Expansion slots available: 2 full-height PCI, 1 full-height PCI Express x1 and 1 SDVO/ ADD2 connector, HP 16-in-1 Media Card Reader (USB connection on the motherboard)



So any recommendations? hopefully something I can find on newegg or amazon.



Thank You!|||This is your best bet: a 9500 GT

It's the most powerful PCI card on Newegg, and is perfectly capable of playing the Sims or League of Legends.



You could also get this card if you want: Radeon HD 5450

It is at least 25% less powerful than the 9500 GT. The 9500 GT sells for only a few dollars more, so it would not make any sense to get the Radeon unless power consumption and temperatures are a major factor, since the Radeon 5000 series cards are very efficient and cool.
