I only use my computer for youtube and movies basically and hd tv shows.

Currently I have a 7950 and haven't gamed in over a year, looking to downgrade.
 
Is this an old card you have lying around? A newer generation entry-level card like a GT 430 is several times faster and shouldn't cost too much. If you sell the 7950 you'd make out ahead if you had to buy a 430 (for example).

I'd guess an 8400 might be enough though (I don't have direct experience with such)
