Play games, not platforms

I don't think I could even afford the "Under R800" recommended card

A good idea for an article, but its maybe a bit short of details.
Whenever I am in the market for a graphics card I usually determine how much the piggy bank will allow me to spent, then check where I can get what that is in my price range, then check out a few benchmarks on the net to see which will be the best option. Ultimately the card I have must be able to handle the games I play and sometimes you just have to spent a bit more than planned to get a card that will be able to play games. Sometimes you can get a slightly better card for just a few bucks more than the one you had your eye on.
I have had both Radeon and Geforce (and 3DFX) cards and honestly can't complain about either brand, I have never lost a card before (touch wood) and I almost always use cheaper brands. For a cash strapped person the cheaper brands are an option.
One thing that irritates the crap out of me is the entry level cards with lots of RAM fooling people who don't know anything. I know people who despite the advice I gave them show up proudly with their entry level card ("it had more RAM than the one you suggested"), then complain about the fact that I can play games smoothly while they struggle.
What are IKonic IT's shipping prices? :/ I get a 404 error
hmm, it is a little sad that there are no nVidia's on there.
"multiplatform"... the word that ruins games for PC gamers.
