The 6800GT from nvidia should be pretty decently priced and provide great graphics for gaming.

look into the Radeon X800 pro VIVO

make sure it is the VIVO version, it will give you the most bang for your buck, because it is relatively easy to softmod it to a much more powerful XT PE. I have this, and i have no problem playing top end videogames on moderately high settings.

If you look at tigerdirect that have a decent selection of AGP cards at great prices 256mb to 512mb. I seen a x1600 for $109 after mail-in rebate.

and i saw a 7800 gs video card which fits agps is it good

I wouldn't recommend it. You get essentially the same performance with the x800 XT PE, for far less, and for even less if you take my route and aren't afraid to mod it.

as you can see, it's only marginally better than the x800, and it's a solid 150$ more, depending on where you go.

If you have and AMD socket 754-939 system you can easily transition to a PCIe motherboard and open yourself up to a much wider array of video cards -- that way you can have a vast choice of cards thats SM3 capable and later DX10 capability instead of getting stuck with an SM2 spec'ed X800 Pro.
