Im kind of a newb when it comes to reading specs for graphics cards. My brother told me to go with the PNY because its an 8 series but the BFG seems to have the better specs.

GeForce 7300Gs may look like a treat but there is a differnce between the geforce 7 and a Geforce 8 graphics chip its like the max limit of overclocking a Geforce 7 chip wouldnt be the same as geforce 8 chip plus you get support for shader model 4.0 (DX10).Rounding up all these factors geforce 8400gs can be overclocked more then a 7300Gs .Rounding up all these factors i personally feel you should go for a Geforce 8400GS.

Get the 8 series if you want DX10 support, but both of those cards aren't top of the line. If you have the money you should get an 8800 or a 7950. I have a EVGA 7950 gt KO w/ 512 mb and I only payed like $250. Also, DX10 only works with Vista so if you don't have Vista the 8400 is pointless. Also, I like BFG better than PNY so I would go with that but that's just my preference. The number of the series isn't always an indication of performance.

EDIT: I just found this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as... which would be better than that 7300.

Get the 8400GS. Overclock it and it becomes amazing.
