What kind of new video/graphics card would you suggest I get? Now that school is over with, I have time to upgrade my PC with a new video card so I can play more games. But I have never done this before and I need some help! Here's what my PC already has: Windows XP Home Edition 2.7 Ghz Celeron processor 512 MB RAM 25 GB of HD space left (out of 60 GB) 64 MB Intel Extreme 3D Graphics card (integrated, it sucks) My PC has 2 or 3 PCI slots availble, so I need a PCI card. I was planning on getting just a 256 MB PCI video card. I really only want it to get the games that I already have to run smoother and so I can actually get the newer games to run. Also I have about $80 in gift cards for Best Buy (from my birthday a couple months ago) and not much cash in my wallet, so I would like to get one around $80-$120. I would also like something thats easy to install, but if it's not I can always get my computer game geek Uncle to help me out :-) Thanks!

It's kind of embarassing to lose in a deathmatch not because of how I play, but because my PC ran at 15 fps whenever I saw someone. It just adds to my anger and frustration.
