I've never opened up my computer (Gateway dx4822-01) before, but I've been doing more gaming lately so I'm looking into upgrading my graphics card, probably to a Radeon HD 6670. Will that one work? I think I'll have to upgrade my power supply from 300w to 400w, too. My question is when I've been researching, I haven't been able to figure out if I'll be replacing my current card (intel g45/43) or just adding in the new one. I also saw somewhere that it might require a new hdmi cable? My monitor died a few years ago, but we had a small tv that I've been using via hdmi instead. Does that matter?

My current computer specs:

Any and all help is appreciated!
