I have a 9800gt EE that works really well, ive had it over a year now and it runs most games like Arkham Asylum, Rainbow Six Vegas 2 and Borderlands at around 30-45 fps, and with my old single core machine I managed to get Mass Effect 2 to never dip below 40fps, usually running around 60.

Yes, $50 is my limit. The reason why $50 is my limit is because:
1. I don't have the money right now to get a better card
2. I don't plan on playing too many games on my PC so I thought that $50 would be enough to buy a decent card.
I'd suggest the 4650. You won't be able to play many games on the fullest or even medium settings, but a few old games might be playable.
Well that's fine with me because my current one is utterly horrible so it doesn't really matter if I can't play new games since I don't really plan on playing games on my PC anyway.
Might as well use this opportunity to clean up your case, and do some cablemanagement, too!
Yes/No. Yes if you know the basics of the insides of a computer. No if you are unsure which cables go where etc and you don't want to sit there clueless for a good couple of hours not knowing what goes where etc.

Should I use a compressed air duster to clean the inside parts of my computer? It's very dusty and I heard that compressed air dusters are the best for electronics. Here's an example: http://tinyurl.com/bestbuy-airduster

My computer only has PCIe x16 slots (and older) so I can only buy PCIe x16 2.0 cards or PCIe x16 cards.
Please tell me which one I should get and why.
And if you somehow find a better graphics card at a better price, please send me the link.
Thanks!
I highly suggest http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814131360 as it is a newer model that features DDR3
*Edit*
I just noticed both of those cards you're listing are about $50, is that your limit?
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814133308&cm_re=9800gt_1gb-_-14-133-308-_-Product is what I'm using, and its about $75 +shipping.

Just make sure not to use it on the fans.
Why shouldn't I use it on the fans?
Because it will make them turn faster than they were meant to, which could potentially cause damage.
But I can see tons of nasty dust clumped up behind the fans. How am I gonna clean that?
Use a damp cloth.
An anti-static cloth or a normal cloth with water?
