Help with PSU & GPU upgrade.

[Grimjt]

Hi all @ Toms Hardware.

With a number of up-coming games I'm worried about my pc not being good enough to run some of them. For example, I saw that one system requirement for CoD: MW2 was a 7800 graphics card or better - I only have a 7300.

I'm looking to upgrade my PSU and GPU for under £100 and to run these games at least.

I have a Leonite 2 motherboard - http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01080268&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&lang=en&product=3463943
3GB of RAM
Currently 300W PSU

and £100.

I was thinking maybe the 4670 but I have no clue of which PSU..

Help would me much appreciated, thanks

I have an Intel Core 2 Duo 4400 @ 2.00GHz if this is any help to you.

Its got a pciex16 slot so any pcie graphics card could work. You just need to get a PSU that matches the graphics card you get. Usually the manufacturer site gives a recommended power supply and number of pcie power cables.

XFXs 4670 says a 400W power supply and no PCIE power cables necessary.
