Finally decided to upgrade my graphics card, currently using a factory OC GeForce 9800GT so yea it's about time :P

I'm after a card that won't break the bank, preferably from PC Casegear. Also, it would need to run on XP since I'm still trying to get my hands on Win 7 which I may be able to do for free and legally since I have a family friend who has a ton of legal licences he's not using for ultimate ed.

So the wishlist is, not breaking the bank, Win XP compatible whilst still DX11 supportive.

These are the cards I'm looking at currently so it gives you an idea of how much money I'm willing to spend, yay or nay?

www.pccasegear.com/...

^Those two are cheap enough for me to get now

I can easily wait and save for the goes like hell ed if you guys reckon it's worth the money for the extra power.

Feel free to recommend other cards, but I'm not willing to spend over $200.

Thanks in advance fellas

Further to my previous blog with the promo marketing stuff (i.e. crap I give away to help promote the name but didn't really expect people to buy) I've now started selling shirts/clothes.
