    Newegg.ca - EVGA 01G-P2-N795-TR GeForce 8600 GT 1GB 128-bit GDDR2 PCI Express x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card

    Or


    Sapphire 100292DDR3L Radeon HD 5450 Video Card - 1GB, DDR3, PCI-Express 2.0 (x16), Dual-Link DVI, HDMI, VGA, DirectX 11, Single-Slot, Low Profile

    they are both bad TBH for the games u want to play.

    the HD 5450 may have the advantage for newer games and the 8600 GT may have the advantage for older games.

    The 8600GT is better, but quite a bit older, so not so future proof and it doesn't have support for DX11.

    the 8*** range of cards are over 4 years old, and rather dated.

    shogun 2 is a very graphic intensive game, and used as a benchmarking tool for modern high end graphics cards.

    id find a bit more money and get something decent, youd be better off with intigrated graphics than a 5450 lol
    find around $100 and get something like a HD 6850.
