Hey everyone, I'm building my own P4 system and I need some advice on parts.
I've purchased all the parts for my system except for the case, mobo, and video card.
I got:
This Hard Drive
This Processor
This RAM
This DVD Drive
This CD-RW Drive
And This Floppy Drive
I'm almost positive I'm going to purchase This Mobo
What do you think? I really need suggestions for a video card though. I'm looking for what's going to give me the best performance for under $100. I was thinking about the Geforce FX 5200 but I'm not too sure. I'd appreciate any help, thanks!!!

From the choices u gave the 5200 is probably the better choice, but the benchmarks on tomshardware.com didn't look too impressive, the Ti4200 8x spanked it across the board and is also cheaper Its just that the 4200 doesn't have dx9 support so there are extra features on the 5200.
Quoting Tomshardware
In the entry-level segment, the FX 5200 Ultra is therefore a good choice. It's not certain, however, as to whether the moderate performance of the card really allows the DirectX 9 features in games to be used. Tests with modern games such as Splinter Cell or Aquanox 2 (internal tests with DX 9 Beta Patch) show that the card is actually too slow for this.

Hmmm...Does anyone here have a Geforce FX 5200? I do enjoy occasional gaming, such as Grand Theft Auto, Medal of Honor, Splinter Cell, and N64 emulation. Does anyone own it, or does anyone know if this card will give me a good experience when playing such games? Thanks!
