So after my 8800gt died and i realised that my psu is HORRIBLE I need some advice from you guys.
My budget is around 200$(the less i spend the better).
My current cpu is q6600 at stock speeds(no plans for OC or replacement), 4gb ddr2 ram and my motherboard is asrock penryn 1600sli-110db. My monitor is quite small 1440x960(or something like that) is max res
I need a card which could run future games on playable fps in my resolution and a psu to give it enough juice.

The choices are good, but alot of new hardware is overpriced compared to newegg.
Ive found a 512MB GDDR3 PCIE16 HD4850/HD-485X-YNFC XFX for 136.88$ :??: Ill go thru as many e-shops as i can and see if i can find it cheaper tomorow.
 
HD4850, HD4770, HD5750, 9800GTX+ or GTS250 would not be a huge upgrade but a good replacement.
HD4870/90, HD5770 or GTX260 would be a well noticeable upgrade.
And now that we know your location for the PSU you should be looking for a Corsair or Antec in the 450-550watt range.

Im not sure if i should look for 512mb or 1gb. Im thinking that 512mb should be enough for my monitor(1440x960), right?
