I have a d915pbl motherboard with an intel pentium 4 3.4 Ghz processor and a radeon x1600 512 graphics card. I want to buy a radeon 6750 xfx card but idk if itll work properly with the cpu.

Also the cpu is watercooled to stay cooler since they run hot

Does your PSU have a 6-pin power connector for video cards?
- If it does then use it.
- Otherwise look at cards that can run within 55 to 75 watts.

The HD6670 may work, but you might need to tweak it using the AMD/ATI CCC panel from a power consumption perspective.
- I know the HD7000 desktop cards (lower end ones) support this, but I doubt the HD6000's did.

My previous desktop was a Pentium 4 paired with Intel 915 motherboard from MSI and to be sure that you won't have compatibility issue running newer graphics card on an old motherboard I would recommend getting a PCI Express X16 version 2.0 instead of the newer 3.0.
I heard that PCI-Express 3.0 cards don't work on older 1.0 motherboard.
I recommend getting either this HD 6670 card which is 2.0

or a GTX 550 Ti which is also 2.0
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125410
I recommend going with the GTX 550 Ti since it is more powerful.
The HD 6670 does not require 6-pin power connector and should work running from the PCI Express bus power.
The GTX 550 Ti however requires 1x6 pin power connector for powering the graphics card.

PCI Express v3.0 is fully backwards compatible with PCI Express v1.1
- Check if your motherboard is PCIe v1.1 or PCIe v1.0

If you already have an ATI card I would suggest replacing it with an AMD/ATI card, otherwise you may experience video driver problems. (Worst case: Re-install OS to resolve).

The HD7790 is much better again, and only uses 1 watt more juice.

- There may not even be much of a price difference.

The newer games with very far viewing distances benefit from the increased texel-rate.
(As most any ARMA gamer will attest to).

If your PCI Express x16 v1.x slot can only provide 55 watts then definitely get a video card that requires auxiliary power.
- Unless your PSU does not have 6-pin or 8-pin power connectors.

You need to find out if your motherboard is limited to 55 or 65 watts on the PCIe x16 slot.

there's nothing to do between intel cpu and nvidia gpu...:D

Well, with any cards today, you'll see bottleneck of performance..that means your processor can't extract all performance of gpu..due to your slow processor..

but yes, i agree about you should using nvdia gpu..
because this card using less power of processor..

So , if you using weak cpu, then nvidia is the right card..to avoid (very) big hit to your system performance.
