How muchshould I expect to pay for a decent graphics card?
It's been a Looooooong time since I had to buy one, but the integrated Radeon HD3000 on my new PC is kinda...Shitty. The only game I seem to be able to run off my Steam account without issue is Plants vs Zombies.

I don't need bleeding edge and I don't really want to pay for it either.

So basically:

What's good?

Considering it's been over six years since I bought one, is there anything specific I should be looking for technology wise? New features/tech/caveats?

Are you there, God? It's me, Margaret.

“There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs.”
