nothing wrong with the 5200. most people just want high FPS in their games is all.

For what you do with your comp, a 5200 should serve you just fine.

I know you said you don't game, but from the benchmarks I've read the Prolink card performs better than other FX 5200s, although it doesn't overclock very well.

This is the only one I can find at the moment:
