What store sells this? I've checked the best buy site, the circuit city site and the staples site. What store sells this. I'm in nyc. And if there is no sore what website has the best price for it?

Probably no stores carry this card (except maybe walmart, or mom and pop shops) you are still better off buying online. However for a little more than the price of the card you could get a new: Motherboard, CPU, Video card, and RAM. But here are some links for the card.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102730
$130
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814131090
$120

or the rebuild

MB: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813186147
$65 Foxconn A78AX-S (socket AM2+)(Has a $15 MIR too)
CPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103186
$46 AMD X2 BE-2350
RAM: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227189
$23 OCZ DDR2 800 2x 1GB
VID: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102805
$64 Sapphire 4650 (has a $10 MIR)

Total: $198 + S&H (not counting MIR's or combo/specials)(could go cheaper with a mATX board too)

Wow thanks alot that was really helpful. I think I want to build a new computer now.
 
I don't know of any retail stores that regularly stock the HD3850 AGP, your best bet would be to find a local small computer store or retail store and talk to the manager about special ordering one for you. Check the prices at newegg or tigerdirect so you know what a decent price is. I've seen graphic cards that sell for $40 on newegg selling for almost $200 at Bestbuy.
