I don't believe there ARE any "cheap but good" cards that could be recommended.
The Geforce 4 Ti is a competent DirectX 8 solution, though 64 Mb is looking a little dated. You would have to be looking above the bottom end DX9 cards (FX5200/5500/5600XT / Radeon 9600SE - NOT recommended) as they would be slower than a Ti 4200, even if they had 128 or 256Mb of RAM. |

If he's building a new machine...I'd say just drop the 350-400 Bucks and get the 6800GT so that way he wouldn't have to mess with a new videocard for a LOOOOOOONG time.

How much money are you looking to spend on just the video card?
