Hi all,
Right now I have a radeon 5570 in my computer that runs games fairly well, with the exception of anything made in the last 2 years. Now that the next generation of console gaming has come, I think that it's time to upgrade the card and move on to something slightly more powerful.
My system right now:
CPU - Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 2.6GHz Dual Core
GPU - Sapphire Radeon 5570 1GB DDR3 (Or GDDR5 I don't remember)
RAM - 6GB of 866MHz DDR2
PSU - (This is where I need a recommendation) Bestec 250w PSU (I know it's garbage)

The computer is a Dell Inspiron 530s so upgrades are limited, and it's a slim-form factor case. Is there any PSU that I can buy for a slim case, or is my PSU already good enough for this card since it runs off of the standard pci-e slot?

Also,
Just a quick question,
Can anyone link me to a slim version of the 750? I haven't been able to find any yet.


Thanks for any help in advance :)

Here is a low profile version of the 750 TI. I am not at all familiar with the brand though and it looks like they only sell the card through their own website:

I'm not sure about a PSU upgrade that could fit in your system though... Might be worth investing in a cheap case and moving the hardware.

Thanks for linking me to it. Power usage on the GPU is supposed to be pretty low, is it not? It says minimum 300w on the site, so 250w I would assume is fine because the 5570 uses something like 150w from what I've seen on the reviews. the 750 only uses 70w max, so it seems safe
