graphics cards mainly speed up games so you will want the cheapest for entertainment and music. they will provide a performance boost over onboard graphics because it takes the strain off the processor and ram.

Hi IS.
If you're not gaming at all then the lowest spec of the 3 (the 2400) will suffice as you'll only be using it for media. An integrated solution will suffice to be frank. The prices, if you were purchasing any of the other two cards are bang in line with current retail cost's. But as an upgrade they are slightly overpriced (this isn't a Dell build is it by any chance?) If you intend to game the card required will depend on your resolution. The 2400 should be ok at 1024x768. The 2600xt is fine at 1280x1024 and the GTS is also fine at 1280x1024, although you'll get more of the eye-candy resident in the detail settings with the GTS.

if you wanted to get a graphics card seperately the geforce 8400 or 8500 series has several video enhancing features included and they wont cost you much
