Got a dell xps 420 over the summer off craigslist for 300 with monitor and all that stuff. So far ive bumped the cpu to 3.0ghz and put 8 gigs of corsair and a corsair 650watt PS. Now i wanna pickup a gfx card for about $200. Ive looked at best buy....

Then i went on newegg and noticed so many differ cards in that price range and was overwhelmed. What do you guys suggest? Is that best buy card way over priced?

Yes. Here's what GTS450s should cost:

For $200, best buy right now is:

At least 50% faster than the GTS450.

Heck yes, Best Buy is overpriced! i humbly recommend you go to a more computer oriented type of store, maybe a frys? if not check tiger direct, amazon (some deals) newegg (probably mo' better deals) or you could check ebays card selection.
Definately check out more stuff than best buy, to get a better idea of fair market costs.
