Graphics card upgrade help please

[MIKA]

Guys

I have to upgrade my graphics card to let my son play COD 6 Modern Warfare 2.

At present I have this installed

Card name: RADEON X700 SE
Manufacturer: ATI Technologies Inc.
Chip type: ATI Radeon Graphics Processor (0x5E4F)
DAC type: Internal DAC(400MHz)
Device Key: Enum\PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_5E4F&SUBSYS_21201458&REV_00
Display Memory: 512.0 MB
Current Mode: 1152 x 864 (32 bit) (60Hz)

I am more than willing to take the cover off the PC and slot in a new card, the motherboard is a ASUS P5GD1, but not having a clue I dont know what kind of card will fit.

Not looking to break the bank and will spend in the region of about £75 to get a new card.

Can anyone recommend a card that will fit and in this price region?

Many Thanks

MIKA

Just had a browse and found this one at Novatech which might do the trick.

Thanks guys.

Drivers didn't work.

The upgraded card recommended looks pretty good. in one of the reviews it mentions needing to get a 6 pin power connector because there is only a driver CD in the box. Does this mean there is additional wiring required and is it an easy job?

Thanks again

Latest graphics cards sometimes need their own separate power supply so you either need a PC supply that already has it or get an adaptor lead that converts one of the drive supplies. Cant help you on what you need card wise tho. I had a look on the site and cant find any detailed.

You'll need more RAM as well
