well 8400 GS consumes about 18 watt and needs a 300 watt psu but it will bottleneck your CPU because its from 2007 and it was a entry level GFX card at 2007. but you can get a radeon 7750. though your CPU might hold it back.

hmm whats your specific budget in USD? my opinion is insted of spending that cash on a new GPU save it.then you can use it to buy a decent 400-500 watt PSU and a nice vga card. or you can just buy a new rig with atleast a core i3. that way you can play almost all games at med to high settings :D

well you should keep it as 30 and save till 150$ then you can spend 50$ on a nice decent 450-500 watt PSU and about 100 bucks on a mid range card. although switching from P4 to C2d wan't a good option.you should have gone atleast C2 quad or more, you could have get a better gaming support on that. but nontheless its a good build. also i recomend adding atleast 4GB ram insted of 2. if you plan to use this pc for a long time
