well it is time for an overhaul. My comp is getting a new Video card and a CPU. The CPU that I picked out was a AMD athlon 2.0 ghz (a HUGE improve on my AMD duron 900mghz). The Video card is the problem. What to get? Nothing over 200$. What I need is recomendations, comments, and any other useful stuff I can use.

FYI this is a gaming computer. The primary games played (or will be played) are Medal of Honor:Allied Assualt Spearhead, Medal of Honor: Allied Assualt Breakthrough, Medal of Honor:Allied Assualt Pacific Assualt, Call of Duty, Warcraft 3:The Frozen Throne, Starcraft:Broodwar, Unreal Tournament 2003, World of Warcraft, Battlefield 1942:Road to rome, BF1942:Road to Rome Desert Combat Mod, and Halo PC.

PS for all those that play MOHAASH could you be so kind to include your average fps, as mine is a lowly 17

PS I am looking at the MSI FX5600-VTDR128 atm.

Looking through the prices listed currently, you could get a GeForce FX 5600 Ultra for $129. You can also get some of ATI's crap for cheap, but you can't trust their equipment.
