Help purchasing a video card (unique situation)

Why don't you build your own pc . Prebuilt pc is overpriced piece of ****
Edit : Ah , I see
Athlon 64 , Pentium 4 are horrible , approximation for low-end game : 5-15 FPS
Option 1 + OC to 3.4Ghz seem good enough though

Ok. What are some recommended parts/specs on a 500$ budget?

[Garteal]

Your resolution doesn't matter. Those computers you have listed are by no means super powerful.
You do need a decent CPU if you plan on playing the game with a decent speed.

Where do you intend to buy your parts from?

Ebay and/or craigslist, and anything that accepts paypal (no credit cards). I don't have any experience building a PC, so I hope you can give me some tips on that :S

He said he was Canadian, so that won't be too much help.

Just put ".ca" instead of ".com" and BAM!

Sorry, I thought we were still talking eBay, so assumed that wouldn't work.

Even then it would, aa long as the seller was willing to ship there.

Which was what I was assuming they wouldn't.
