I'm getting myself a new GFX card that will maximize STO.

GeForce 6150SE nForce 430
DirectX 9.0c
32-bit
PCI Express
128 bit DDR 1

I'm looking to spend between $90 and $125.

Any help would be appreciated.

    I've got that same stupid built-in card in mine. Don't forget to factor in the price of a power supply if your current build has less than a 500W. I was thinking of getting a GeForce 9800GT as an upgrade, but I'm no expert.

    Sorry to burst your bubble but your going to need something stronger then even my HD4890 to fully max out STO with no hicups. I'd look into a 750Watt PSU and an HD7870 or GTX660Ti, that'll set you up for a good while. An I mention the PSU cause in a pre-made PC they always max out the PSU regardless of what is in the PC to save money.
