There has been some great deal in our For Sale section lately!

There are a lot of 8600GT cards for about $70-80 at the egg.
Or a 3850 for $109 + S&H

If you can't spend more than $100,i'd go no higher than this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814260056

But seriously,that HD 3850 is only $10 more yet blows away the 8600GT,or a 8800GS for $5 assuming you do rebates and/or still prefer NVIDIA.
