I currently own a NVIDIA Ge-Force 9300 Ge and it appears to be giving me problems. I keep getting BSOD every time I Play Css and it starting to piss me off. To me it seems that my graphics card isn’t made for gaming (so I have heard) and actually I have had that Graphics card for quite some time now.So I looking for another graphics card that could support games (Css,COD,ect). Any suggestions?

Budget: $100-$400

If you want to go all out with your money:

Budget:

ATI

or

NVIDIA

If you are just looking to play something that isn't that graphic intensive such as CSS or CoD, you should be just fine with the budget cards I posted.

Even the budget cards aren't that great anymore. If your really have a budget range of up to $400, you can get the 5850, which is several notches above the GTS250 and 5770, and yet will not break your wallet at only around $250-ish. However, if you are going to go with ATI, wait for the 6000 series to come out. It'll drop the price of any 5000 series card by quite a bit.

 

Also, you're telling us that playing games causes a BSOD. That could also be the result of other hardware, such as your PSU. Give us some more details as to when you BSOD.

its under 500w...

Also:keep giving me Ideas for a new Graphics card.

 

There are a lot of ideas... $100 - $400 is a huge range. You can get something from a 4670 to basically a 5870, or 9800GT to a GTS470 with that budget. Tell us your needs, and narrow down your budget a little bit. And also, upgrade your PSU, that's whats most likely causing your BSOD

if you are willing to spend that amount of money, go with the ATI card Potshot posted, it's worth the money, but you should get a new PSU as under 500W won't power it

 

but if you're only going to play CSS and CoD, you should be fine with the 5770, since i have a 4870 and i can play every game fine on high
