Spec me a card

[borich_planner]

Going to order the following, as my old pc died. However, I can't afford a top dog graphics card so something around the 100 mark will be fine for time being. Specs for new system is as follows:

Intel Core i7 920 D0 Stepping (SLBEJ) 2.66Ghz overclocked up to 4.00GHz!
Gigabyte EX58-UD5 Intel X58 (Socket 1366) PCI-Express DDR3 Motherboard
Patriot Viper 6GB (3x2GB) DDR3 PC3-12800 (1600MHz) Low Latency Tri-Channel
Noctua NH-U12P SE1366 CPU Cooler (Socket LGA1366)

Would something like the Asus GeForce GTX 260 TOP 896MB GDDR3 PCI-Express Graphics Card do the job until I can get a decent card?

Gtx260 should do a fine job up to resolutions of 1900x1200 any thing higher than that and it will struggle pretty badly.

oh that will be fine, my current card is a 9700 pro.... I haven't played any new games in last 3 years..
