With this setup as a PC that is used as a word processor and image editor on a HD 24' monitor, what video card do I need to get?

I don't need the latest and greatest gaming card, just something that will work with this setup and wont bog down if there are alot of open/moving things on the screen.

Thanks

Video cards are cheap, you can get a capable card for small money these days, check newegg. I'd get 512 at least.

I'd go for at least a 1 TB Hard Drive myself...

Good friend just built a computer for me yesterday. I got the GeForce 210 with Nvidia and 1gb dedicated ram at Microcenter for $45 with a $25 mail in rebate.

Marked down from $84 originally. It works great. Windows 7 gave me good "experience ratings" even though I had WMP and Firefox open when I ran it.

If you're trying to be cheap about it I'd try using the onboard video first and see if it gives you the performance you are looking for.
