Hi Soar,
I really don't see why you would need to go and buy a new graphics card if you already have some 250s lying around. They should work fine and as you say you aren't a hardcore gamer. You could even put a couple in and SLI them if you wanted to but that would give you more noise and heat.
You do make me laugh though when you say "I am on a somewhat limited budget" and in the next sentence say "I do have a number of brand new GTX250s lying around." I wish I was on that limited a budget 
I really enjoy the humor and excellent tech info here. You two never fail to put a smile on my face. Thanks for that.
Yes, limited budget and lots of cards laying around. Here's the scoop. When I see a wonderful deal on a component, I will purchase as many as I can, then resell each item at a profit. First time I did it [in the 90's] I found a killer deal on EMachine computers and purchased over 30 of them, then made a handsome profit.
Now I buy and sell to pay for my computer building hobby. This knocks the price way down to nearly free when I do a new build and I like that...it too puts a smile on my face.
Last, I also like to give away stuff too. When I have an abundant excess, I can then afford to bless my friends too.
Thats the story behind having lots of the cards laying around...I've been too busy to Ebay or Craigslist these items. It does take time and effort to prepare the items for sale [photo, specs, nice write up, etc.]. Now I have two full weeks free from school and I will be selling again now.
Thanks again DM! You guys are the best!
Soar
