Recommend me a Video Card

[noodle654]

Well my computer is finished and it is SWEET. Now I am using the onboard HDMI and I want a dedicated card. I have the ECS 780GM and it is a great board. It supports Hybrid Crossfire but I have no clue what card to buy. It would be great if it had HDMI on it.

BTW: My rig is-

CPU: AMD 64 Dual Core 5200+
MoBo: ECS 780GM
RAM: Corsair 1GBx2
HD: Seagate 250GB 7200RPM SATA2
PSU: Rosewill Performance Series 550W
I have 5 80mm Fans and 4 blue cathodes.

Thanks for your help guys!!

How much are you willing to spend on a video card?

I was hoping less than $100. I am cool with mail in rebates.

I'd pick the 8800GS or the 3850 256 MB. This is based on US$ prices though.

You might have to settle with the 3650/8600GTS otherwise.

Those where the ones I was actually looking at. But, how do I use CrossFire. Doesnt it act as 2 video cards because of the onboard? I know nothing about ATI/AMD nowadays.

Only the HD3400 series supports Hybrid Crossfire. If you're going with the 8800GS/3850 you're getting a lot more GPU power.
