hey all, i got a dell xps 410, with a nvidia 7300 le and dell stock power supply that runs at 375 max watts, yes i know its low lol
heres the specs
+5V =\ 22A Max
+5V(FP)= \ 2A Max
+12VA = \ 18A Max
-12V =\ 1A Max
+3.3V =\ 17A Max
+12VB =\ 18 A Max
so my question is, is there any cheap graphic cards to upgrade this one
it has 2 dvd drives, 3 gb ram, 2 hd's and a tv card, all coupled with a intel e6400(wish i could over clock), any suggestions as to getting a graphic card with hdmi would help
budget rang (0-100)

That should work just fine on you PSU and will be a HUGE boost from what you have, more than 10x better, it'll get you play the latest games at more than decent settings .
OCing the cpu would help alot too.

If dealing with a rebate is okay with you, then you can get the XFX HD 5750 for $95 after a $20 rebate + $4 for shipping. It is much better than the HD 5670.

alright thanksyall any ideas on any nvidia ones??, im wanting this computer to last, i dont entirely game on it all the time just casually, any more suggestions will be greatI do not recommend any nVidia card because something comparable to the HD 5750 (the GTS 450) in performance uses even more power than the HD 5770.

Actually i just used a "real" PSU calculator and it seems it should be okay running all of this with a 5770 or a GTS450.
Preferably a 5770 just to be safe.
If you can,go use this and fill in the blanks

Are you sure u did it right?
Did u enter a video card or did u leave it blank?
What resoultion is your monitor?
You could easily play Crysis with a gts450 or 5770 on medimum settings.I'm sure with a 5670 you could still get playable FPS.
And what is your CPU speed?When you do play games, espisally Crysis, will use a lot of CPU power as well as GPU.So having a fast CPU will help.

That's the second biggest downside of having a OEM PC, aside from the higher price, still the 5670 shouldn't bottleneck with that, and if it does it wouldn't be much relevant, same on the 5750.
The higher the res the less cpu dependant games become, if your new screen is 1080p or more, it won't be a big deal not being able to OC the cpu, if you kept your current monitor the bottleneck would be more noticeable.

CRTs aren't bad at all, they're just huge, ugly, much chunkier and power hungrier, and people felt the need of something more eco-friendly and space saving, but picture quality wise they're still better than alot of those cheapo LCDs out there, specially because they have almost no ghosting due to the high refresh rates ( on some of them). There are also 120hz and 240hz LCDs thoug, those are great, and expensive.

Not bad,but you will need much more VRAM.
When selecting the which 5670 to buy you will defintly need the 1G version for your 1080p.
Do you have a certain budget for the GPU upgrade?
If money is not an issue i would get this version
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
But their a far cheaper ones,just be sure to get the one with 1G of memory.

HIS 5770 for 129.99 - 30 MIR = 99.99 and free shipping.
Just squeaking under your budget
Scratch that. Rebate ended yesterday. Still listed on the search but not on the main item page anymore. Sorry

A 5770 would be nice,and it is within your budget.If you did buy one it would be serverly bottlenecked by your CPU.Altough you would still see a performance gain over the 5670 it wouldn't be much because of the slow CPU.I guess it's good to get it now and have it be limited and then when you purchase a new CPU in the future you will already have the 5770.But the 5770 will be much cheaper by then.
I'm still going to stand by my reccomendation for the 5670 because it won't get bottlenecked and most importantly for power issues.
