I'd try to get them a little more vid for the $$ too. I checked on pricewatch.com and they don't even list that vid card anymore.

Is there a reason you're not building him an PCI-E system? Just a few dollars more for the ability to have PCIE video. Just a thought.

yea go with a better video card

 

[Noobtastic]

put this in:

Videocard

or this:

Here

Tell the person who is buying the computer that for 50 bucks more, his videocard could run [insert program that he likes here] much better and will enhance the graphics by 10x.

(This card is 80 bucks, and your current videocard is 64, so instead of 64 bucks make it 80 bucks+30 bucks profit)
