Help with Graphics card(S)

[iced]

Hi guys hope you can help me out here i have a problem first up my system specs


motherboard Ga-7vt600 1394

Processor AMD sempron 2400+

Memory 512 pc 2700 (pc333)

Hard drive 120 gig maxtor diamond plus

power supply is 425 watts


My question is this which graphics card would you guys recommend bearing in mind my price range is £100- £130

I dont want a geforce fx card as i already have one and hate it

I have been looking at the sapphire atlantis Radeon 9800 PRO 128 MB DDR 8x AGP DVi & TV-Out and also the 256Mb Excalibur (HiS) Radeon 9600 Classic D-Sub, DVI, TV-out (Retail) , but will my specs be able to take these cards as i have been reading about the 9800 pro and people have been having problems with overheating. I dont know a hell of a lot about graphics cards so any help would be appreciated. Or if you can recommend another that would be most helpfull.

Thanks for taking time out to read

Any of the cards should work fine I think. Shouldn't be a problem with overheating if you don't have a very small case

Goddamn your a little prick aren't you?

Id stick with newegg if I were you, their a lot more trusted and respectable then random unheard of dealers without repuations that are solid and proven. with newegg u can always RMA it, its delivered safely and VERY quickly. With a lot of these others, u don't get that.

Id recommend sticking to newegg. prices might be a bit different. but its a lot more respectable.
as for the prices on a 9800PRO.. the differenece between newegg and the LOWEST on there is about 10USD or 7pounds

and thousands of people(hundreds here in these forums) can vouch for newegg, can u say the same for SiMPLY computers or MicroDirect?
