Do you have a GPU currently? If so, what do you already own?

that card is good, I would also recommend this card, its a bit fasterhttp://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=193_1225&products_id=17295, but if you're just going to be using the comp for sims then you dont need such a nice card, you can get away with much much less. This one should be more than enoughhttp://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=193_963&products_id=17596, just make sure your cpu is not too old and you're good to go.

$74.99 after MIR - ZOTAC GeForce GTS 450 1GB ;) Get this... Galaxy GeForce GTX 550 Ti 1GB... factory overclocked, but if you heatsink the IC's / VRM's for about $15, then you'll really be able to push the card.. the less cores, the less heat, so you should hit 1GHz easy after the you heatsink the VRM's..

he's australian so no newegg. We australians pay a lot more for computer parts. =.=

Ah well, cause the vrm's were already heatsinked, so 1GHz no prob.. But get a GTX 550 Ti, overclock it to 950MHz now, heatsink the vrm's later, then overlock it to 1GHz...
