i think a geforce fx 5200 ultra would work nicely with your "super-budget" theme(nad is better then the integrated one)

yea i was thinkin better gfx card but if i did that id have to sacrifice for a slower CPU and i just dont want to do that. a faster CPU is a little bit more important than a fance GFX card. besides i think the most gfx intense game he plays is UT.

damn id be lookin at buyin him a 2nd hand system with a gfx card, even a 64mb gf2 would be better than nothing!

plus if its old-spec, 2nd hand would be just as good, and cheaper (and maybe u get gfx card with it).

i would say slower cpu and gfx card, but thats just me
