@xXx: Just one last opinion, I had a 5200 for a while and while it can run 2.0 shaders, as everyone has said and as you yourself know, it's slow as hell. When I got my 7600GS it was like flipping on a light switch in regards to speed. My new one was $150 on sale but I don't know where they stand now or if that's even the best card to get. Perhaps save for the big boys that are ready for DX10 so you don't have to worry about yet another upgrade.

@Phil: Thanks, it's all looking good.
