sorry, apparently there's no way to reply to a thread I started without triggering the 'solved' thing and then everyone thinks the thread's solved. So if I reply, I will edit this post with a reply below.
I know basically nothing about GPUs. Currently using a cheap MSI R5450. Need something better for "moderate gaming and HD video edit".
I'm considering used off ebay even though a lot will say not to do that.
I have an 8 pin PCIe power cable that can also plug only 6 of the 8 pins from my Antec 550W BP550 Plus. So PCIe is an option. I'm going to upgrade to something like an AMD FX-8350 (not overclocked) with an SSD, an optical and that's basically all plus two basic case fans. So I'm asking for suggestions for a GPU that won't need more power than the PSU can handle in that system.
I have a 19" dell LCD monitor but might get something like a 24" if that matters.
Please be specific about the model because when people say like 'get an HD 7770', I check ebay and there's like 10 completely different GPUs called HD 7770 even if I add NVIDIA or whatever brand it is.
thanks
