MSI Radeon 4850 HD is lonly like 200 bucks and its top of the line.

It's by amd/ati, so it's not at the top of the line.

I'm afraid you'll need at least 8600-line or equal video card at bare minimum if you want to play anything half decent-looking.
$100 for a video card is pretty cheap already.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

8600GT can run Crysis and UT3 etc. at low/mid resolutions and settings, yes, but dear god. HD4850 is THE best bang for the buck right now, as they cost ~$170 retail and most have $30 rebates as well and destroy NVIDIA 9800GTX performance. (I know you said this is out of your price range.)

If you need a graphics card now, the 512mb 9500gt might be it. It can be had for as low as $55 after rebate at Newegg, but I recommend going with the GDDR3 models ($80 before rebate). It will offer performance comparable or much superior (hello Crysis) to the 8600gts.

ATI cards run too hot, so they can gtfo kthx. I haven't even read the benchmarks for the newer ATI cards, anything idling at 80c can go fuck itself.
