Video card for an Intel D915GEV MB
I have a computer I built several years ago and now that I have installed Windows 7 on I would like to add a video card instead of using the onboard graphics. I am not a gamer. I would like to play with Media Center, along with everyday use. It has a PCI Express 16 slot for the video card.
Intel D915GEV MB Intel P-4 630 3.0 GHz CPU 4 GB Ram WD 640GB Caviar Black HD Antec 350W PS I was looking at the three video cards below. I am open to other suggestions as well. Also, I have a 500W PS if needed. Thanks.

Here is a good, inexpensive non-gamer card that's good for aero and videos: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814121310

Masaki 7-11, I think you gave me the wrong link, because when I click on it I get an AMD cpu. Would you please check it again. Thanks.

Masaki's suggestion is appropriate. Jdeb's is not, that's a bit too strong for your PSU and it's unnecessary expense for a non-gamer. Stay away from those cheap Nvidia cards.

I was wondering about this Asus video card rather than the Asus card Masaki recommended since it has a $20 rebate and after the rebate it will be only $7.00 more. If there is a problem with this one let me know and I will go with Masaki's recommendation. Thanks.

It will probably work, but the 4650 comes with a 400 watt PSU recommendation. The 4350 is good with 300 watts. If you are not gaming, there is NO reason to get anything stronger than the 4350.
