Don't buy from emag.ro ! They are thieves ! They have double prices for gods sake! Try pc garage or DC shop sites and look for same grafic card model you will see that it is a lot cheaper.
And that card isn't a bad choice at all.
Look here same graphic card you want but is even more cheaper http://www.dc-shop.ro/Placa-grafica-PCX-GI...-prod-26485.htm

I heard newegg.com was a good site too.

When I'll be sure what to get, I'll search for the shop that gives it for <strike>free</strike> best price.

Safe up a little more and get a 460 or 470 GTX.

But... but:(I wanna NFS: Hot Pursuit and Shogun 2 and more.
But seriously... Even if I get a very good video card, rest of the components are not that good so I'd say it's useless to get a very good video card and not use it at max because the CPU is not that great or so. I don't know many things about hardware and stuff like that but I get it they're all connected, right?

The GTS450 is probably your best bet, if you want a mid-grade card in price, performance, and over all satisfaction. Especially cool is the fact that it's the coolest-running FERMI board available.
I run an ENGTS450/DU myself... It came with a beefy heat-sink, and some genius software for tuning, and I haven't yet come across a game I couldn't play with acceptable frame rates.

Well, it depends on how "crap" the rest of your hardware is. I'm currently on Shogun 2 and it's very hardware hungry, but looks great.
Anyway back to topic. As others said the one you showed us has a good price, good performance. If the rest of your computer isn't that bad, I'd still suggest to safe up for the GTX's, it's really worth it. But of course, if your CPU for example is terribly out-dated, don't waste too much money on a great GPU, it's not worth it in that case, just a juicy drop on a hot stone.

well Mao if your other component are just going to bottleneck a mid range card.. then don't ''invest'' too much money here,
-Your CPU, will most likely be the main limit factor... side from ''CASH''
-The second point you should look up into too is your PSU maximum Wattage, this is especially true with the latest hight end fat cards ( ''The GTX grade of card in the 400 or 500 series)
-Form factor can also be a important point, The card nowaday tend to be too big for the the smalles mid tower ATX..
- I Have recently get myself a single EVGA GTX 570 Superclocked TR ( around 350 canadian dollars) and it blast trought anything .. and the day Ill have that non godly Frame rate on the max settings, im going SLI ( my PSU is a power plant anyway).
I also recently saw Decent stock clock GTX 460's below 150$ on sale... '' One single of these and your pretty much able to have great power'' With limited budged its what I would buy.
And if you just want something to keep your fun box alive, then the GTS 450 will also do.'' its not like GTX , but not that far either for much less money.
