Hi, I am building a new system soon here are my specs:

CPU: Intel i5
MOBO: GIGABYTE p55m ud2
RAM: 2GB OCZ DDR3 1333
PSU:Corsair 400CX
HDD: Seagate 500 gb 7200.11
DVD ROM: NONE
PCI Card: NONE
FANS: 4 120MM Case/Cpu Fan.

Right now, I need a decent GFX. My main concern is that I have only 400W power supply and I want to know what is the best GFX that will fit under the limit of my PSU? A decent mid range card is fine. If this is not possible, I might need to sell my corsair and buy a 500-600w PSU for 50+. What is my best option right now?

What resolution is your monitor? The 400CX is actually quite strong for what it is. What do you plan to do with the system? If you dont want to game at max settings then a 4670 will do fine and doesnt need an extra power connector so your PSU will still have plenty of power left over.

It is just 1680 x 1050. I see. I probably won't game much just want to make sure I have a good enough card to run some modern game like RE5.

I think a 4770 or 4850 can run with your PSU... otherwise wait a month for ATI 5670 or 5770.
