Getting a new graphics card...

[Sandwich]

...But I'm illiterate when it comes to picking out hardware. However, I did come across this.

I'm not sure if it's good for modern gaming/art or not, but the reviews seem to suggest it. Then again...the reviews could be wrong. Can anyone fill me in?

In addition, how do you know if a card can work on your computer or not?

EDIT: Might try out this one instead, after consulting a friend.

Hey, the second one you posted is my graphics card! It's a good card, I've had no problems with it, just make sure your adapter is PCI-Express and not AGP. Check with your local techie if you're not sure. Otherwise, the second card's good for what you're doing.
