Help: Upgrade to Budget GPU
Last response: in Graphics & Displays
Hi all![:)]( ":)")
I'm quite new to the world of gaming. Looking to buy a graphics card and i need some help. Recently i bought a new CPU:
Amd Athlon 2 X2 250
Asus M2N-68AM Plus
2gig X1 ram DDR2 800
I'm thinking of buying a new GPU now. Pls suggest a good budget GPU.
And my smps is 450w. Should i upgrade it to a 600w to run a GPU? MY smps doesnt have 6pin pci-e supply![:(]( ":(")
only one sata power cable and one 5-pin ATA cable. Can i use the current smps or should i upgrade? And if i upgrade should i go for a brand like CoolerMaster or will the cheaper ones (available at 1/4th the price) do?
Thanks in advance.

More about : upgrade budget gpu
I currently own a 15" CRT ![:(]( ":(")
but i might upgrade soon but no plans as of now.
So resolution is 1024x768.
And budget is around $80 GPU+PSU. If i dont need a new PSU then i can go for a better GPU. But i'm really clueless abt the PSU power supply stuff. How do i get the 6pin supply from the single 5-pin ata cable?

With only $80 to spend just keep your current PSU. If you need to fit a PSU in that budget the only cards you'll be able to afford are very weak.
Are you sure you can't stretch the budget a lil? This would be very nice;

much better than the cards available at $80 and should be ok for a 450w psu.

I cannot stretch my budget further And i know a person selling HD 4850 (1.5 years old). I might be able to strike a bargain at $80. Shall i go for it? And since it's a high-end card does it require a better PSU and cooling unit?
And 9600gt looks to be inside budget. Does it render high end games?
I believe someone on the forums is selling a 4850 for $75?
