I got this for $388.82 shipped.

First is this a good deal?

Second what is a good video card for this set up?

I am looking for something with HDMI. Planning to play HD media out to a 1080p LCD and running it sometimes as a monitor on a 42 LCD (still looking to purchase one)

Also I run games such as Warcraft 3 TFT, Counter Strike, but I also want to be able to run some of the newer games that have come out in the past year or two.

Any suggestions and help would be great!

Thanks!!

This video card (http://forums.slickdeals.net/showthread.php?t=1154579) is great for all of the needs you mentioned. You might want to check if your power supply has enough juice and if the card will fit in your case.
