So, I've come to the realization (about 3-4 months ago) that my PC is more or less plenty powerful to run almost any game decently that is currently available. I may have to turn the settings down, but my PC should still at least be able to run it.

However, I've figured out that the weak point of my PC is my GPU, when it was made (and yes, I didn't build it myself, I got it really cheap on sale, deal with it), they didn't bother putting a decent enough graphics card in there, they sorta cheaped out and used a pretty standard 1 gig card with a relatively unimpressive clock speed.

So, in preparation for the future, and some of the more demanding games coming out soon (or never, *cough* GTA V *cough*), I want to try to upgrade my video card to something decent. Here's a list of a few details of what I'm looking for...

Would like to keep the cost as cheap as possible, max I'm willing to go is about $200.
Probably needs to be a card with an AMD chipset, since I have an AMD processor.
A card with two HDMI outputs would be great, so that I could use a 23 inch TV I have laying around as my new monitor, but keep my PC also hooked up to my 40 inch.
A 3 gig card would be nice, if there's a cheap enough one out there.
