Where did you get that theme? Can you direct me to the site where you downloaded it?

You have orange box, go ATI, try 2600 or 2900 or if you are really in to it you could shoot just above your budget and get the  higher end cards.

Generally ATI is cheaper than the equivalent nvidia.

Yesh. I expected cheaper though, since it was about 150 usd.

Won't one of the GeForce 7900 cards be good enough?

It needs Directx 9. shader 3.0 and 128 mb.
And my current card has shader 2.0 so it won't run a game that needs shader 3.0 ;__;

Yep. Perhaps not at a huge resolution but it will run it.

Geforce 8600 GTS should be in your price range. I'm planning to buy one myself.
