need video card...

Hay /g/, I know NOTHING about video cards... and I need some help.

I want a new video card, price range between $100-$200 (the budget ones, I guess)

I want to play FEAR

Also, is the ATI Radeon 9800 PRO 128MB any good?

Ok, what happens if I put a 8x vid card in a 4x mother board?

Also, does it mean only shit video cards are out that are 4x?
