I am wanting to get a new video card. I have been looking at new cards but I started to wonder if my current psu will work? I have a thermaltake 430 watt psu

ati 4670 might be the best card with that power supply the 12v rail is not
strong enough should be 2 or more 12v rails with at least around 30v total
or you could det a new power supply and better vid card i just got a 4830
it's a nice card
