You can use any card in that system provided it has the power since your is only 250 watts I would suggest a upgrade to your power supply.
Info on your board

Also the higher end cards are going to bottleneck your system if you go that route later.

Wow cant belive a card this old wants a 400 watt power supply but heres a link this may help..

Could you provide a link and price for the one you are interested in?

No - just get the 5670 - it draws only 65w max - it also runs on 250w PSUs. Though it's really only good for smaller resolutions and up to high settings in games...

OR buy a 500w PSU and replace yours (way easier than it sounds) - then get whatever video card will fit in your case. This option will work much better for the latest games.

I've got a Dell and decided to upgrade mine to play games too - I used an HD 5670 for the last year on Dell's 300w PSU, then a friend gave me an HD 4890 so I swapped out the PSU. Like I said, this is way easier than it sounds. Just pay attention to what connectors go to which slots.

A 500w+ PSU and an HD 6870 will play everything well up to 1080p, and it will only set you back about $230

With a 250w PSU an HD5570 is about the best you should consider.

johnnyb105 · Nov 23, 2013

YAH IT SAYS 400WATTS PSU REQUIRED
CAN I BUY THIS CARD FOR MY 250 WATTS PSU??????

rolandzhang3 · Nov 23, 2013

Look inside your case at your PSU sticker, what's the amp reading under the +12v rail?

Technically the 5570 should work, but it's definitely not a really safe option

Sir I would not trust your power supply with that card .. It may be in your interests to upgrade or replace your power supply before adding another card to the system...

Graphics card Authority AND ANOTHER GUY jyjjy are giving wrong suggestions what is this? should i believe them?
please suggest me a good graphics card which is best compatible with my 250w PSU

rolandzhang3 · Nov 23, 2013

Frankly there isn't any good GPU which would pair well with an OEM 250W PSU

The 5570 would work with the PSU, at load the entire system should draw about 175 watts according to this, in the long run it wouldn't really be the best option

Just because requirements list a 400W PSU doesn't mean that it won't work, manufacturers list a higher requirement so that people would experience less problems, there are people who run 7750s on 250W PSUs (pushing it very close but achievable)

The obvious safe route would either get a new PSU with a better card (which would be expensive considering your budget), or getting a much weaker Radeon 5450/6450 which just about works with most low end OEM PSUs out there

johnnyb105 · Nov 23, 2013

Thanks friend I can be of no help to you at this point you can install what ever you like Was only pointing out that the card you want to install may in fact take down your system it may run for a short time it may not even turn on but your power supply isn't on the high end of things being that said and my years of experience since the mid 1990s more gpu cards then you can shake a stick at from the old days of trident and voodoo cards to the first ati cards and the tnt cards from NVidia I will not suggest a card or anything to a op knowing it may cause system damage. You have a good night or day sir!

rolandzhang3 · Nov 23, 2013

Does it have a section with a +12v and an amp reading there? please post a picture if you're able to

The 5570 should work, though the safest option especially if you're not going to be gaming much would be the entry level 5450/6450 cards

johnnyb105 · Nov 23, 2013

This is from hp this is what they recommend for his pc...

johnnyb105 · Nov 23, 2013

The highest vid card they recommend is a radeon 5350 theres no real gain from that. That he has with the 4500 igpu

rolandzhang3 · Nov 23, 2013

You're gonna need to know how to open it if you are going to install a new GPU in it, there should be two screws at the back holding the left side panel in place

To be honest with you even these entry level 4350, 5450/6450 cards are a massive upgrade over the pitiful GMA integrated solutions

Just look at the hierarchy chart
