Upgrading dell inspiron 530 video card

[Stpeteguy]

Hi, I have an inspron 530 PSU: 350w and im looking into buying a dedicated graphics card PCI-Express to play the new MMO Rift, my budget is about 100$ with wiggle room of course, I hope to play the game on medium settings nothing too fancy. My question is what card would be the most efficient in running the game without seriously draining my wallet.

A good choice is the 5670. Fine for your 350w power supply.

If you have the 530S (slim case) you'll need the low profile ready graphic card.
