Good video card for fairly cheap?

I've always got my computer from a local video store since my dad knows the guy, its part video store part computer repair, and we get a good deal. The problem is, he doesn't have the name brand video cards, like Nvidia, etc. So these are my specs ATM:

And my video an ASUS X1600Pro with 256MB, according to System Requirement Labs.

After downloading Grid for pc and I'm still playing CoD2/CoD4, I'm looking for a better video card, without paying millions for it. I want a GeForce or something like that because I've only heard good about them. Any ideas?

check out ebuyer.com they have cheap GFX cards

What kind of a budget are we looking at here?

Under 300 if possible.

And I'm in Canada, so idk if Ebuyer or whatever ships here, but I need to know which card to get.

Try and find an 8800GT or an 8800GTS

What can/will that do better than my current card? Just faster?

Yeah. You'll be able to play games smoother, and also movies could look better

Okay.

How many MB does it have and what does it cost?

They both have 512MB and they should cost around $180-$200.

Great. 100 bucks less than I was expecting to pay, so I could maybe buy a nice mouse with a new game or something.

+rep to you for sure, thank you very much. You sure are a wealth of info :)
