What video card should I get?

I play WoW, and I don't have very good frame rate. I'm hoping a better video card would increase my frame rate immensely. Anything you guys know of that are good, but decently priced?



My System Specifications



Operating System:



Windows 2.5.2.3790 (Service Pack 2)



CPU Type:



Intel® Core™2 Duo CPU E7400 @ 2.80GHz



CPU Speed (GHz):



2.81



Video Card Model:



ATI Radeon HD 3400 Series|||We need a budget! We cannot give good information without it!



On Newegg, you can get an eVGA GTX460 for $155 after MIR. What a steal!

If you need something cheaper, try this GT240 that is $40 after MIR:

Both are really good cards!|||ECS Silent G210

(NSG210C-512QR-H) $39



OR for a little more you could do a



Zotac GeForce GT 430

ZONE edition $84



The Zotac one will definitely be able to kick but while u play WOW. The ECS will prob do pretty well but u might still get choppy game play at high settings.



these are both very good budget cards. If you are looking form something more powerful look into the GTX 400 series but you will be spending upwards of $200|||Providing you have a PCI Express slot, a Radeon 5670, or if you can afford better a 5750 or 5770.

No point in spending more if you don't intend playing more intense 3D games, if you think you will later go for the 5770.

A 400-450 watt PSU will be more than enough.



Note added:

Gf 210 will be no better than what you have now and a Gf580 is silly money.|||this is a desktop, right? because laptops are non-upgradeable.



the best GPU (in my opinion) would be the Nvidia GeForce GTX 580, but i dont think your computer can handle it. also ask yourself how much RAM you have as that is a factor of performance



EDIT:

go with what the others said, i only focus on the high end stuff XD
