Radeon 9600XT, with half life 2 (free!) is about 170-190, depending on where you shop. It's a bargain card and gets the job done pretty well.
RAM, how much do you have now? You want 512MB. If you have less, you need to upgrade. However, you need to figure out what speed/type of RAM you have. It's bad to mix RAM around. I'd say 256 megs is about $30 for SDRAM and probably the same for DDR, although DDR is faster and better.
