new computer help needed (repost) by chaotic2008-08-27 05:32:15
  I'd switch the video card by Menetlaus 2008-08-27 07:56:57
Then again I like my gaming. The 8500 will have DX10 support and maybe some newer hardware video en/decoding support, but is severely lacking in raw power.

For 50 Euro you might be able to find something like a 7800, 7900, even the 6800 has more power than that one (according to Toms Hardware Graphics Card Hierarchy Chart). If the budget can allow it the 8600's aren't bad (compared to the above) but if you can swing it an 8800GT or 9600 can be found for about $125 Canadian (approx 80 Euro).

Depending on the games you play it might not be necessary, but for less than the price of one game you could add many times the graphics power to that system.
