What PSU do you have? What resolution is your monitor? For what uses, gaming, HD/Blu Ray video? If gaming what games?

What´s your PSU?
A cheap and Low consumption gpu is:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121410&cm_re=5670-_-14-121-410-_-Product

You will be able to handle this gpu easily with any decent 350 W PSU, or maybe with a generic 450 W PSU.

Of course It would be a better option to buy a new PSU(if yours is a low quality one) for example:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139017

for just 25 $ after rebate,
and then get a better gpu, for example one ATI 5770:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102898&cm_re=5770-_-14-102-898-_-Product

Anything better could be bottlenecked by your CPU.

One thing more only 2 GBs of RAM? , Buy 1 GB more, it should help you a lot while gaming.

I have had my eye on the Radeon HD 5670. Would this work well enough to play games like Assassins Creed 2..GTA IV..Fallout 3..etc?
Anybody have any suggestions for me?

 

[Dominaz1]

Could you tell us the Amps in the 12V Rails of Your PSU ? ,
Or at least tell the brandname of your PSU?

For your resolution I would buy a 5770 and a new PSU.

Assassins Creed -> Will run on high
GTAIV ->a 5670 will run in Medium quality
Fallout 3 -> Very High quality in a 5670
