I'm just building a desktop PC for myself, mainly to do my music work. But at some point a guy just wants to play his video games. What website can I go to to gat a decent video card that can handle the games listed below, but doesn't cost too much. My price range is between $80 and $150.
The Games
Black Hawk Down (the 1st one and the 2nd one)
Need For Speed (1, 2 & 3)
and any game similar to those.

Newegg is the place I buy 90% of my computer parts.
For video card comparisons go to Tom's Hardware Guide. They have an interactive video card table with many gpu's and benchmarks. They also do cpu's.
PCI-express is the most current standard, still lots of agp but fading fast.
Hope you don't mind but I am combining my suggestions for all 3 question here:
Athlon 64 3000+ socket AM2
MSI K9N Neo-F Socket AM2 NVIDIA nForce 550
XFX PVT73GUGE3 Geforce 7600GT 256MB 128-bit
Patriot Signature 1GB (2 x 512MB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 667 (PC2 5300)
Not the fastest, but within the budget and with a good upgrade path.
By the way, if you need resources on how to actually assemble th e parts try the last 2 links.

nvidia geforce 6600 6600gt 7600gs/gt
6200 and 7300le/gs/gt use turbo cache that uses system memory to give more perfomace to the gpu but slow the pc down a bit
