Hello--

I'm looking to upgrade my Gateway dx4350 UR21P from its native ATI Radeon HD4250 graphics card to get a dual HDMI graphics card, preferably with 2gb of memory.

I've been looking around on newegg and noticed that most dual hdmi cards require a 400 watt power supply, and my cpu only has a 300w supply currently, so it seems I'd need to upgrade both the graphics card and the power supply.

I've never upgraded a power supply, and it's been about 8 years since I've upgraded a graphics card. I can't say that I'm 100% confident that I know exactly what to look for, and I would be grateful for recommendations on what to get to upgrade in both the power supply and graphics card.

I'm looking to spend $200 max for the 2 upgrades combined. If I can do a decent job for $150-$175 that would be great too.

Thank you in advance for your time. I appreciate the advice.

I think your first response was just to pcpartpicker and not your actual list so it was what everybody last viewed/changed... mine must have been viewed because I would never put a CX in a build

A question update:

Will one (or both) of these work with my computer setup? (Gateway dx4350 UR21P)
And, would either of these be preferrable over the other?

I don't know what happened, but Newegg didn't fill my order for the 620w Antec neo eco & that power supply jumped up to $70.
Now I'm looking for a power supply of similar quality, but <$50 would be great.

Thanks for the help again.
