Alright for Christmas I'm getting a graphics card. Joy. Thing is I have a 100$ price cap on whatever I get, maybe I could talk to old people into a few bucks over but def. not over 110$. My current system is a 3.2Ghz processor, 1Gb of ram, nice power supply. I really don't even need a high end card because all I really play is CS:S and I don't see my current heap of cheap crap running anything like Crysis or COD4 any time soon so I was wondering what card I should go with to stay in my cheap freakn bum price range, there are lots of midrange cards to pick from on newegg
I'm looking for someone to pick out a card for me, semi-decent, It needs to be from Newegg, It needs to be PCI-E (X-16), and needs to be cheap, I would prefer an ATI card because ive had good results from them, I would rather have a 512MB card but a pretty fast 256 with a good gpu will do, and please for the love of god not another "leech card" that uses my ram for memory..
ill give best answer to the one i pick

Ill give stars and a best answer to the one I end up picking.
And im not asking someone else to do it for me because im lazy, it's because i dont really know much about the current cards because ive been running on an onboard card for ages, and before that an old geforce 4000mx.. which was crap. ive been staring at newegg for hours and i cant pick lol... its sad.

This is probably the most powerful card you would be able to get for $100.
