Quite honestly, the best graphics card may be just a little out of your price range. I payed $300 for mine and it's still not the best. Up there, yet, but by no means the best.

Try poking around http://www.newegg.com for video cards. That should get you started and give you an idea of prices you should expect to find.

Somehow, the fact that you used the word 'bestest' in a sentence tells me that you won't be spending $1400 on a dual 7800GTX setup.

QTF, you gotta do some research on the GFX cards, using bestest kinda...er...shows slow...ness...er...

Get an x700 it's cheap, very cheap

my best advice is to either get a GeFore Graphics Card, or a Radeon...I'm running a Radeon 9600...its not the best but I'd say it works really well.

I refer you once again to http://www.newegg.com. It has a very good lineup of any computer parts you might need and will give you specs and prices for everything. Do a bit of searching around and you'll find what you need.

Fist of all, do you have a PCI or AGP graphics slot?

Im running a Radeon 9200 and it runs HL2 very well with exeption to the slight lag after loads(bout 2 second lag) But the rest of the Gameplay is great.

Each page for the products they cary have stats and info on that product. What you'll want to do is compare the varius cards within your price range and choose one that fits what you need.

As for if the card is 'good', just remember that 'good' is a relative term. Is it good compared to what? Just about anything is 'good' compared to integrated video.

Nvidia Geforce 6800GT.
Now the most powerful video card alive.

If you are on a Mac G5, I reccomend the ATI Radeon X800 Pro Mac G5 Edition. 500-600 $.

Nah, the 7800 GTX's are pretty nice. I would give a kidney for two in SLi.

I have a Radeon X800, I got it on sale for about $170, plays Half-Life 2 and Battlefield 2 at decent settings. (decent as in 1024 x 768 with AF and AA, or 1280 x 1024 with no filtering)
