Hello all. Recently, I have been trying to upgrade my integrated graphics card to a dedicated one. The two options I have narrowed it down to are the 6450 and 6570. I understand that these are not the best gpus in the market, but I am only using it to play league of legends which is not that graphic intensive. My question is this: if I have a 250W PSU will I have to replace my PSU if I buy one of these cards? I am on a low budget and would like to buy just the graphics card without the PSU.

These are my system specs http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&docname=c01959710#N1184

Thank you everyone for the help!

I would suggest the 7750 as well but sounds like hes on a tight budget. You could always just try the 6670 or 6750 and if you have to pry get a real cheap power supply that will do 300 - 400 watts. Hell i have about 5 stock hp 300 watt ones laying around my house

amd.com does say it requires a 400 watt psu which I know is untrue. I ran a 6670 which also requires 400 watts and I ran it on a 300 watt power supply with no problems what so ever. I was also running 2 hard drives a few extra fans and 2 dvd drives so I really think hp underrates their psu.

Just get a 7750, it uses less power than the 6570 and 6670 and is much more powerful than both of them. It should work well with a 300W OEM PSU

Pity that you only have a 250W PSU, you'd be better off upgrading your PSU and getting a 7770 even if there is a bit of a bottleneck.

For future reference:

Your motherboard supports AM3/AM2+ CPUs so you could pick up a quad core CPU as a small upgrade and a superior GPU like the 7850 or something in addition to a new PSU

The only sad part is that mobo only supports a maximum of 4GB DDR2-800 ram.
