Alright, so depending on the size of your PC. For example I have a "mini" type so I bought a "Low-Profile" graphics card. What kind of games do you wanna play? What kinds of stuff are you going to be doing? For me, I bough this cheap-ass GC for around $150 w/ tax. It can play any game basically on ultra or max settings with around 40-300 fps depending on the game. For battlefield 3 the max I've seen it run on is 80FPS on ultra. So the GC I have is this

If you are installing drivers, then you won't lose anything.
