Yeah that's a tough one. I come across this a lot with people who have either hand me down PC's or PC's that were just bought for them (not with gaming specifically in mind usually).

I usually recommend either saving up for a 350-400 dollar cheapy computer that you can at least have some more room in, or buy a new case, new psu, and then a new video card. But you're only as fast as your slowest part, so if your CPU is going to be a limiting factor as Jerreece stated, then I wouldn't even bother buying new parts.

Sorry bud! You can try this from ibuypower for $500 bucks:

It's not a bad cpu. I have 630 just like you. Mine has windows experience score is actually higher than my gpu (HD4850): 7.2 vs. 7.0. I wouldn't hope to get even a decent gpu for gaming with a slim case and psu. like yours. Your psu is mediocre, to be honest.

You could consider whether an ATI HD5570 low profile card might fit into your case. It's definitely not a gaming GPU, but it would potentially fit. (Keep in mind, the GT120 and GT100 cards from nVidia aren't really gaming cards either!!)

Low Profile GPUs are designed for low heat output and low power use. They're designed more for Home Theater PCs than game play systems.

Here's a benchmark/review of the HD5570 to give you an idea of what to expect:

Just get an HD5450 if you aren't going to be gaming. You can use it on an Nvidia motherboard so don't worry about that.


HD5450 it is much better than my integrated geforce 9200.can u write down all specification like memory etc? thnx

That should be fine. 1GB of memory on a card like this is a marketing gimmick and in reality entirely useless. A card of this caliber(or even significantly better ones) cannot effectively use more than 512mb.
On a side note;
Have you actually tried your onboard graphics before deciding it needs to be replaced?
