my main game is world of warcraft. I wanna get diablo 3 when it comes out. My current computer can run 3 wows windowed 2 extremely minimized and 1 someone big enough to watch it.

*anything* you get will outperform that. My netbook with ATi E350 APU (integrated HD6250 graphics) will run 3 Wows windowed at 1024*768.
I'd say get something like a 5770 or 6570 for $50-$80 and you'll be fine for a while. Save the other $70-$100 to buy a new card in 1.5-2 years and in total your $150 will last for 3 years.

i have 2x 6770 and they work great

but yes the 68xx and 69xx are better

even 1x 6770 should work for you

When SW: ToR or maybe as late as D3 comes out, i'll probably upgrade to new vid cards

i picked up Radeon 5770 Hawk for $60 on hardforum.com. Great place to buy new/used pc items.

i have decided tojust start saving and buy a new computer. Few decent computers going for 600$ which blow my computer out of the water XD

I will hopefully be doing the same thing around when Diablo comes out. The bad thing is if I get one of the new processors, almost everything has to be replaced.

Well if your a ati sider, go with the 6850, its very good but the fan can cause noise, very high noise once you using it over 60%.

If your a Nvidia sider, go with a GTX 550 , it go for around 129-149$, low noise, its built to last, can take heat, if you go with gigabyte maker, the fan is very big and it doesnt make a single noise, since i bot while i sleep, i needed a silenced card but that can perform good, all my 7 comp are using the gigabyte GTX 550.

Hope it help
