specs =
intel core 2 duo E8200 @2.7ghz
gigabyte GA-P35 DS4
g skill 2 x 2gb ddr2

Yes, your motherboard has a PCI-E slot so that 6670 would work

The 6670 is more of a replacement/sidegrade from the 8800 GT

I'd recommend a 7750 at least for an upgrade

or a 7770

i have something like a 540w power supply ?

it is more than enough ~

rolandzhang3 · Oct 20, 2013

Yep, if it can power the 8800GT, it has no problem with any of these newer cards

The 7770 should max out the power of your system without bottlenecking your CPU too much

could you guys help me find a compatible card in the price range of 40 - 70 pounds ?

Here is an ASUS HD 7770 for 71 pounds.

The HD 6670 would be a very bad idea, only because it is a very small upgrade, you might not be able to notice any improvement. I just noticed the HD 6670 is slower than the 8800 GT 512MB, if that is the one you have. Either way the HD 6670 is a very bad idea.

^The exact same one I linked

The price difference between the 7750 and 7770 is justified in my opinion
