what are you trying to do with the card? play games? if so what games?

for 40-50 you're not gonna be playing new games

^^i hadnt realized that card was that cheap. that might get you going in some games

dont game too much, but was looking for a decent fps game and they all require shader 3 or directx10, i have a shader 2 and I was hoping to keep the cost down, i know i can get a 400w psu and a SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 5450 1GB 64-bit for around 45 buck all together on newegg but dont know if it is a good enough card

you would just be upgrading your psu for a graphics card that your computer can already handle...but i wouldnt suggest. youd be way better off with the card that madness suggested

I would go for 6670 if possible but the one suggested is fine. Of course you get some nice low-end gaming with both but if you get some more bucks get 7750. Very good card.

Plus can you list your CPU, RAM and mobo?

6570 is good (as I said) but its worth to get 7750. Sure depends on exactly which game he will play.
