I have an older, slim pc with a hd 5450 ddr2 512 mb. I was wondering how many watts does it use and whats a better card with same amount of power usage. I have a budget of 75$-100$. I have PCIE 1.0 with a x16 slot. If there isn't a card that's better with same power usage, then how much would a better power supply that fits my pc be.

My specs

CPU: Intel core 2 duo E6300 1.8 GHz
Power supply: 220 watts
RAM: 3 GB
Mother Board: Dell Dimension 9200C WG860
