Need a graphics card. Any suggestions?

I have a dell dimension E510 and I want a good graphics card. I play a few games and if I had graphics card I would probably play a few more but mostly I like to watch video on my HDTV. I would like a graphics card with HD capability's and hook up to my HDTV through HDMI. I've been doing alot of research on graphics cards but with so many out there I was wanting some user opinions. I would like to spend less than $200. I've been looking at a Diamond Viper Radeon HD 2600 Pro 512MB card but havn't found any reviews on it. I would like at least a 512MB card. Any suggestions?

You're going to be limited in your choices due to that system only having a 300W power supply, and many new cards require at least a 350W. (I'm in the same predicament.) The Diamond Viper Radeon HD 2600 Pro 512MB card has gotten good customer reviews on Tigerdirect, but needs a 400W PS. You may want to look at Nvidia 7300 GT or 8500 GT cards - most of the 7300 GT cards and some of the 8500 GT cards will work with a 300W PS.

I'd personally recommend the ATI HD line of graphics cards. The 2900, 2600 or 2400 series all have the HDMI output that you're looking for.

I'm not a huge Diamond fan, to be entirely honest. ASUS makes a good 256mb PCIe 2400 for around $60-70, but that seems too light for your question. You could get a similar Diamond Stealth 512mb PCIe 2400 for around $80, which seems more like what you're asking for.

The HIS 2600 512mb would be my personal recommendation. I've never had a problem with their cards.

The 2900 series is likely going to be outside of your price range.

Well, first of all i need to know what type of graphics card slot you have. But i would go with a Radeon 1950 Pro over the 2600 Pro. The 1950 has a 256 bit interface over the 126 bit of the 2600. Even though the 2600 Pro has DirectX 10 capabilities, it will play the games on low settings. The 1950 will blow through everything even though it only has DirectX9.
