Partial New Build

I have most of my components:
MSI K8N RD-480 Neo 2
AMD 64 3700+ San Diego
Antec 400 watt PSU
and am using my current tower and audio card
will be purchasing either Corsair or Crucial 512 memory DDR400

looking for a cheap ($50 tops) video card any suggestions? I dont do much gaming, some photo work, etc...

Any of these decent?

The last one had solid reviews and was said to oc very well and the other 4 pixel pipes were able to be unlocked

Thanks

Will use 256 MB of your system memory (RAM). Plus 50 dollars for a 256 meg video card (on-board) sounds a little over-rated.

Not sure about the ASUS.

Freetech is junk. Might as well be "Free"tech.

Look into eVGA or SAPPHIRE.

I'm looking on NewEgg right now and they have a "recertified" x700pro, is "recertified" just a more polite name for a refurbished part?
