A lot depends on your Budget and what you use the computer for.

If you only do Office applications and internet - any card would work.

If you do video editing you need a better card..

If you play games you need a really good card.

The price goes up depending on what you need.

to add on

you shouldn't get too good a card (not more than $100-120) because the rest of your system is going to limit its potential unless you upgrade it

You need to figure out of you have AGP, PCI Express or just PCI slots
