Default Recommend me an average graphics card

Hey guys, im fixing a friend's computer and his gpu is really crappy. Showing red screen, messed graphics and so on.

The only thing he wants is to play WoW so recommend me a graphics card no more than $100.

Thank you all.

An HD 4670 should do it nicely if he has PCI-E slot.

4670 is you want to go way under $100. if you want to be closer to $100 the 4830 is a good way to go as well as the 4770

For the price I would go with that 7900, really will not get a much better deal than that. And for wow you dont need anything special.
