Any suggestions? I can spend around $100.

I've already got my eye on this:

Any other good cards out there I can get?

I can't find an AMD card that will run on a 300W PSU.

Save your money and purchase a new power supply too.

Magicka is agonizing because it has virtually no save points, so when you get killed by the boss you have to start all over.

screw you guys im getting this card anyway

the guys at dell said it would work :o

The guys at dell...

Yes, that sounds trustworthy.

That card will NOT run on a 300 watt PSU, it'll overheat because it won't know how to partition the power equally.

Save up for at least a 500watt PSU and then get the graphics card, otherwise you'll just waste the money.
