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
