Computer help...best video card for this motherboard

Hi there, I'm not too good with figuring out what works with what and I've never bought a video card before so I'm wondering what a good video card for around $100 I could get for this motherboard...

I don't need anything insane but I think I'm going to pick up World of Warcraft soon and I want to make sure I get a video card that will handle it without any problems. I'll probably add another 512mb of ram too. Thanks for the help.

Looks like you only have PCI slots available, so hit up NewEgg.com and search for PCI cards. I found a Diamond ATI 256mb card a week ago for $45 after rebates. Pretty good deal if you ask me.

Doh, thanks for moving this. I only have off-topic talk and general tech on my quick links and I forgot there was a computer section.

Yup, there's just pci slots. The diamond ati does sound like a great deal.

I'll decide within a few days. Anyone else have any recommendations for a quality card?

*edit*
WoW's requirements:
# 800 MHz or higher CPU
# 256 MB or more of RAM
# 32 MB 3D graphics card with hardware transform and lighting, such as GeForce 2 or better
# 5 GB or more of available hard drive space
# DirectX® 9.0c or above
# A 56k or higher modem with an Internet connection

Looks like I'll be ordering that one later tonight or tomorrow morning (probably another stick of ram and another hard drive too). Thanks a bunch for the input. 8)
