Q: 2008 MP (Mavericks) needs new video card - what to buy?

It seems like the NVIDIA GeForce GT120 (1024mb) is causing reboot issues (fan has been an issue on this card for over 12 months). I had been wanting

to upgrade the card to something newer & a little more gaming friendly but to be honest there are so many options out there & I don't know a lot about

graphics cards, not to mention what is & is not compatible with the Mac OS....

 

My computer is a 2008 2 x 2.4 MP with 8gb of ram running Mavericks. I'm wanting a decent video card that can support dual screens with 2 or more GB of ram. 2 should be enough really....I'm a casual gamer & occasionally do some light video editing in iMovie (although I do want to learn more about video editing). I also would like to keep it either under or not much over the $200AU mark.

 

Ive come across a few lists of compatible cards but to be honest I find it too confusing: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4664

 

Any advice would be apprecitated
