Hi. So i want to hear your opinion on buying a 4670. I have searched numerous topic about buying a graphic card for a 300w supplies and I have came to a HD 4670.
The problem is some people claim they can run this "HD 4670" on a "300w psu" while other suggest to upgrade a 400-500w psu.
As much I would like to get a new psu, i am on a very low budget (About 80 dollars to spend).
I am considering to get this graphic card

and my system spec is here as follows

btw the psu is a 300w Bestec
Also I used, http://www.antec.outervision.com/PSUEngine to help calculate and with all the system spec plus the HD 4670 installed, this site show the wattage is 273w (with 30% capacitor aging and 100% system load).
I think it should work, but I would like some feedback.
Also is there a better brand you prefer for graphic card (nVidia, HIS,Asus, .etc)?
