For under $100 the best cards you can get are the geforce 9800GT


http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductLis鈥?/a>


or the radeon HD 4670


http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductLis鈥?/a>


The 9800GT is the better of the two and both cards require a minimum 400W power supply.

For a little over $100 you can get either a geforce GTS 250


http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductLis鈥?/a>


or radeon HD 4770

The GTS 250 is the better of the two and both cards require a minimum 450W power supply.

Your two best choices around the $100 mark are the 9800GT and GTS 250 with the GTS 250 being a cosiderably better card than the 9800GT. The 9800GT is 9" long and the GTS 250 is 10.5" long, so measure to make sure you have the room before you buy.

If you need to upgrade your power supply, I'd recommend Corsair.

Here's how to change out the psu in your system.

Is there anything in CPU-ID that can tell you this without opening the case? I have this same machine and as you can tell the video card sucks so looking for a video card with the ability to play Modern Warfare 2, Assasins Creed II and many more new ones.





Motherboard is Pegatron Corporation


Model:Violet


Chipset:NVIDIA nForce 720a|||i'm sorry but good cost money





theres not a good graphics card out there for 100 dollors but i would recommend the GTX 260 which is about 130 dollors or around that or you should be find with a 9800GT which is around 110 dollors.|||You kind of limit yourself with a 100 dollar limit. I'm a little bit more familiar with ATI brand cards and my card is a 3650 HD 1 GB version and that runs about 40-80 dollars depending on the manufacturer. That card runs every game, not really at the highest quality because of the rest of my specs but its still a great card. However I just bought a GTS Gforce 250 for $110 with a $30 dollar rebate and I hear it's a lot better than the 3650. So you could go with an older card or you could watch out for some sales on Newegg.com or a similar site.|||I have an nvidia 260 GTX which is currently selling for $200 at Best Buy, and it won't even play every game at the highest settings. (or at least not without major lag). A card for under $100 won't even come close. You might as well stick with the built in video if you don't want to spend over $100 for a better card. Also, if you do upgrade you will most likely have to upgrade your power supply too. (will be about $100 for a PS with enough juice and the dual pci-e power connectors for the card).
