Hey,
My current pc config is :
Motherboard : Intel DG31 PR
Processor : Core 2 Duo E2200 @ 2.20 Ghz
RAM : DDR2 2GB
Current Graphic Card : XFX 8400 GS (Nvidia)
Monitor : BenQ T221W

I need help selecting a better graphic card that does not hinder game like NFS Undercover or GRID. So to say the latest games.
 
If this is a prebuilt, the existing PSU will definitely impose limits, unless you upgrade it also.
If, for example, you don't even have a PCIE connector, or if you have only a 250W PSU, you'd be limited to a 4670. That's much better than an 8400GS, but still won't play the "latest games" on very high or even high settings.

Hey,
My PSU is 300 Watts Max and i have 3 12v Lines with 1 of 8 amps, 1 of 13 A and last one of 0.3 A. My Mother Board has a PCI Express Slot.

Do suggest if i sholuld improve PSU? Also would a 8600 GT work better or 9600 GSO. Thanks for the reply...

@coozie, thx a lot for the advice.. i jus checked the specs for HD4670 and it looks lighter on the pocket and better in performance as well. IF necessary i can improve the psu if 9600 can give better performance... do let me know.. thx again
