Hi,

I'm getting a new 550W PSU delivered to replace my old 305W, and since I'll then be able to support better cards than my current one(9500 GT), I want to pick one of those up as well.

My question:

What in your opinion would be the best card I could get for around 30 to 40 bucks off Ebay? (I know that's really cheap, but my budget requires it)

I ask because I'm unfamiliar with the specifics to look for in newer cards, since until now I've only run old stuff. I'm looking to get one with at least 1GB DDR3 memory.

Thanks!

(Specs:

Dell Dimension e521

CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+

RAM: 4GB DDR2

Video card: Geforce 9500 GT 512MB

HDD: 1TB

PSU: 305W

)

Thanks a lot guys for the help here. Here's where I'm at:

The mention of the 5770 made me decide on one of two possibilities, both ATI. One is the HD 5570 with 1 GB DDR3 memory, and the other is the HD 5670 with 512 MB GDDR5.

My follow-up question: which of these two cards would be the best pick, in your opinion?

Thanks again!
