Geforce 210 replacement

[jaypeepee]

Hi i am getting an hp computer
its gonna be like this

AMD Phenom II X4 920 2.8ghz

4 gig ddr3 ram

nvidia 512mb geforce 210 gt


its the model e9200z from the hp site
i know 210 sucks and i want it for gaming so im going to buy a new graphics card
the reason for buying a new one is because im not allowed to buy a good graphics card with my computer so im buying the new graphics card from a friend

i was just wondering what are some higher end graphics card below $200 that will fit in my computer and be compatible maybe like ati 4850+ or geforce 240+

thanks

If you get it from HP with a low end card you will get a low end PSU as well! Budget in a new PSU if going any higher than a HD4670 or GT240.

so nothing good can work with their PSU if i order a 210 gt from them? dang i was gonna replace it with a better card
so theres no way??

both the GT240 and HD4670 are a good step up from gt210. But if you have a budget of $200 you can get a HD5750/70 and a good PSU.

can u reccommend me a good cheap PSU that can supply enough power to maybe a 9800 gtx+ on newegg? thx

and how do i know if it will fit inside my hp case?

 

[jaypeepee]

when i say fit i mean if the graphics card and the power supply will fit

This HD4850 is a nice deal and a good choice if you want something cheaper;

hey jyjjy how is the 4850 compared to the 9800 gtx+
im always good for cheaper but i want one that can gimme excelent gaming experiences with games like crysis but mainly modern warfare 2!!

 

[jyjjy]

They are pretty much equal in performance;

thanks ima go with that one, 40 bucks cheaper than the gtx+
can it run crysis max settings? or are both of them not good enough

 

[jyjjy]

It should do well with Crysis with max settings but no AA at lower resolutions(1280x1024 and below.) That's the most intensive game around by a good margin.

 

[jaypeepee]

ok thanks so much i wish i could give u best answer too

 

[jyjjy]

It's ok, doesn't really matter.
