Ok, so I just built a new computer and want to repurpose my ld one into the HTPC role. OLD set up HP Pavilion m5047c, Intel Q6600 quad core 2.4ghz, Asus IPIBL-LA mobo, 4 gigs of DDR2 memory (I added from the 3g that came stock), 300w PSU 500g HHD.
Now here is the question the stock GT8400 burned up (fan quit) and I would like the possibility to run WOW on it, (if i can get my wife to start playing again). What video card should I run? Looked at 630's and 6670's but I dont know... I dont expect 100+ fps on ultra but med-low settings at a good 40-50 fps would be nice. PSU may be changed if needed, but would like to save money if I could.....Thanks for your input everyone

The 7750 is a very low power, and strong performer. It is preferred over stronger cards of similar price because of its very low power requirements.

It would be much better than either of the cards you listed, but I think the 6670 is better if you get the GDDR5 version, worse if you get the DDR3 version. -Speculation, not fact
