In a nut shell, this is my PC(desktop) that i bought somewhere else for the same price: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883107513

HP Pavilion M8300F(GX611AA)
Athlon 64 X2 6000+
3GB DDR2 RAM
640GB harddrive
NVIDIA GeForce 6150 SE
Windows Vista Home Premium

I'm thinking about upgrading to a decent graphics card that will last me longer than the one i currently have. I've been hearing this talk about the game crysis, but I have no desire to buy something that will play it at the highest settings.

I have a budget of about 300-400 (no more than 450)
I'm not looking to get the best of the best nor wait a few months for something to come out (because it'll have something better come out after it anyway)

right now, I'm looking at 8800GT and 8800GTX
my only interest right now is nVidia (eVGA), but if there are better options under nVidia cards I'd like to know.
