    finishing a build for my parents, which card for them?


    DX58SO board
    i7 920 DO processor
    stock cooling
    6GB OCZ DDR31600 gold xtc
    1tb samsung spinpoint f3 (OS)
    1tb samsung ecogreen (media, backups)
    OCZ 600 watt PSU

    Micro Center - Diamond 5750PE51G Radeon HD 5750 1024MB GDDR5 PCIe 2.0 x16 Video Card 5750PE51G I'm looking at this card from microcenter, I'm not sure what card they're going to need they just watch movies and do basic stuff that parents do like Microsoft Office and pictures of their grandkids.

    I'd like to stay under $100. What about any Nvidia cards?

    honestly ANY modern ati or nvidia card should be more than adequate for them.
    I would personally just go for a bang for buck buy. ATI is probably the best choice from that perspective. ...but some people just have brand loyalty.

    Any ATI 5450 would be plenty.

    Once again I'll refer you to this power supply/video card rating chart https://www.sevenforums.com/graphic-c...ead-first.html Just to keep this in mind.

    got a 5570 Sapphire card from MicroCenter today... looks like it will do the trick and only use 40watts

    Yes, and it should be more than adequate for their needs.
    It can even handle some light gaming.
