Can someone suggest me an entry level card for HD1080 playback and some very casual gaming ?

Gaming means i only play race simulation games like NFS,Dirt etc and that too very rarely.My primary concern is HD1080p playback

My current specs are
1.Athlon X2 270 3.4Ghz
2.4Gb Corsair vengance ddr3
3.Palit 8400GS

The 8400 gs cant handle that much of my needs.Im looking for options from these two

1.Geforce 630 (gainward 2 gb ddr3)
2Sapphire 6670 1gb ddr3

The 6670 is better of the two, a card with DDR5 would help you more however. The 6670 does come in a DDR5 variant, however I'm not sure of availability and pricing.

Get the 6670, even the ddr3 version performs better than the 630 by a margin

The 6670 DDR5 version is what you'd want, it's on par with the GT 640

Is that your PSU? the 6670 runs fine on 300w PSUs and under as well
