Hi velker,

An ATI Radeon 8500 or GeForce4 Ti4200 sounds good for those tasks.

I was looking at the 8500, its 162, and the gf4 is more expensive. Whats the diff between the ti4200 4400 and 4600? speed or accessories (i mean lilke tv out and things)?

Each card has a higher clock speed than the one before it, so the Ti4600 is the fastest and the Ti4200 is the "slowest", but they're both very fast cards. And, you can overclock the Ti4200 to Ti4400 or even Ti4600 levels. The Radeon 8500 is around Ti4200/4400 levels in terms of performance. And options like TV-out vary from mfgs, but most new high-end card have it.
