Just for fun i'm looking to upgrade our old dell dimension e510 and i'm trying to figure out what would be the best graphics card i can put into it with the current power supply.

I don't plan on buying a new part . I'm pretty much looking for a recommendation on what i should try to snag on eBay for $20-30.

Here's a link to the owners and service manuals for the computer:

Yeah you won't, but I know the 6450 a couple of years ago was going for about $50 on sale, so you should be able to find one for $30 on ebay.

I've also seen the 5670 recommended for this computer a couple times. What do you all think about that? It seems to be better than the 6450. Also, do you all think it could handle a 6570 or a 6670 if i can get one?

As above - the best card would be a 7750 but cost is a problem. Amazon did have a low profile 5670 at around the price you are looking for though these are tail end of stock. NB - I'm running a 7750 on a 250w Dell 545s- under clocked slighty to keep the temps reasonable.
