I live in Australia so can you please only give cheap postage or local store cards(ebay is fine)
I was wondering what graphics card would give me the best gaming capabilities for my computer with a budget of around $60.
motherboard: Gnt945 intel
Dual core processor 3ghz
3.5gb of ram
I have a few I found but I am unsure, please suggest any other cards that you think is a better choice.

Thank you.|||You didn't list the wattage of the power supply that your system has, but whatever graphics card you decide to buy, your power supply must be able to provide enough power for both your system and the graphics card.
According to nvidia, the 210 requires a 300W or greater power supply (see Specifications tab)-

The 210 is a very, very low grade card that is better suited for use in a Home Theater PC (HTPC) and is not a gaming card.
According to nvidia, the GT 430 also requires a 300W or greater power supply-

As you can see in this comparison, the GT 430 is easily the better card-

and of the two GT 430's, the Gigabyte card has slightly higher core clock and memory clock speeds (overclocked) which means that it will render images a little faster than the Galaxy card. The GT 430 is a low end gaming card, not a great card, but is probably the best card in your price range.
If you can afford it, for $9 more than the GT 430 and a considerably better choice, would be the GT 440.

Here's a comparison-
http://www.gpureview.com/show_cards.php?…
According to nvidia, the GT 440 also requires a 300W or greater power supply-
http://www.nvidia.com/object/product-gef…
Because the GT 440 is a more powerful card than the GT 430, it will draw more power from the power supply, and because the Gigabyte GT 440 in the above link is also overclocked, Gigabyte recommends a 400W or greater power supply as stated in the link.
If your system only has a 300W power supply, the GT 440 will probably work so long as your system doesn't have a lot of add-ons or peripherals that will also draw from the power supply. One thing is certain, if you get the GT 440 and your system crashes during gaming, it'll mean that your system is underpowered and that you will need to upgrade your power supply to a higher wattage unit. If your power supply is more than 300W, the GT 440 should work without any problems.
Here's some links that might be useful to you. The first one is a Graphics Card Hierarchy Chart that will give you an idea of how the cards are ranked-

You can use the GPU Review link to compare the specs on cards.
And this link gives benchmark (performance) results for the cards-

Good luck, hope this helped.|||Looks good so far
