Hi, I have a xw 4400 workstation with 8gb ram, duo core cpu, that I am using for graphic rendering in 3dsmax, blender, and adobe 3d photoshop applications. I am looking for a graphics card under $400 to replace the outdated 128 mb vram, to run these applications and the power supply to support the graphics applications. Can anyone recommend a graphics card for these programs? also can I upgrade my power supply to 600w to support a good graphics card?

Thanks in advance for your help.

I'd look to Seasonic for the PSU and 600 should be good, for a GPU, sort of up in the air, for this rig, is it strictly for this or will you be upgrading this rig to a newer system, if so go with whatever the budget can carry maybe a 7970 or something, if strictly for this rig I'd slack off some
