Which Video Card Should I Buy?

I just want to play this game. I don't need the most expensive card. I just want something that is equivalent to a Radeon HD3850+. I don't know anything about cards, thus I'm asking for help in choosing one so that I can join the Trek Online universe. I have a PICe 16x slot. Thanks!

    Take a look at this Tom's Hardware Review article, is it breaks down the current market graphic cards by price/resolution/performance for STO use... http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/star-trek-online,2553.html

    Check out the STO machine build we did for STOked, we go into some real details on the card we picked, and I think you'd like it a lot. Not the biggest card in the yard, but a fantastic card for STO and many other games!

    You can find the parts list here: http://www.jupiterbroadcasting.com/sto/

    And we go over the video card, and all the parts in a lot of detail here:

    Good luck!
