For your 300 watt psu max cards would be GT430/530.

 

[megamanx00]

I say get a Radeon 5570.

thank you. who of those video card is better to gaming

 

[zafiro3497]

I say get a Radeon 5570.

why do yuo think that Radeon 5570 is mor better tha GT 430/530

 

[rolli59]

The best in that performance range is actually HD5670/6670 http://www.guru3d.com/article/geforce-gt-430-review/16

 

[megamanx00]

The 5570 uses less power and is just as fast, if not a little faster, than the GT 430. Look at the Guru 3d link Rolli was kind enough to provide. I believe the 530 is exactly the same as the 430 so yeah.... As for the 5670 it uses more power (GDDR5 uses more power) so I'd feel less confident using that with or a 6670 with your weak PSU. Of course, assuming your PSU is of someone decent quality then a 6670 would be ideal.

what is better for my computer GDDR5-ddr3 or ddr2

what is better for my computer GDDR5-ddr3 or ddr2

 

[megamanx00]

For a graphics card it's GDDR5 (The "G" is for graphics not system RAM), and for system RAM you want to use DDR3, but since you already have a DDR2 board you should just stick with that for now.

 

[rolli59]

what is better for my computer GDDR5-ddr3 or ddr2

GDDR5 works equally well with DDR2 or DDR3 system ram since they are totally independent of each other in the system.

Get an HD 5570 with DDR3 or DDR5.

what do you recommend me GT440 GDDR5 or GT430 DDR3

[megamanx00]

I'd recommend a 5570 (kinda worried about that cheap PSU), but of your two choices I guess go with the GT440.

 

[megamanx00]

You may also want to consider overclocking your CPU so it won't hold you back as much. Of course, Phenom X3s are not the best overclockers so you may not get much out of it. Read a Phenom overclocking guide to learn more.

 

[rolli59]

The GT440 is a little faster but consumes more power even more than a HD5670 http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/ASUS/GeForce_GT_440/26.html

 

[megamanx00]

Yeah, looks pretty crappy in terms of performance per watt ^_^. Hadn't really looked at it's power consumption numbers before.

http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/ASUS/GeForce_GT_440/24.html

Still, it's enough to stay within PCI-E specs for not needing a power connector. Still, it has the power consumption of a 5670 while only providing the performance of a 5570. Not really a good trade off if you're looking to put it in something with a weak PSU.

i get a GT 440 with DDR5 in my computer but now i do not haved any sound from the speaker

That's because when you install a more moder graphics card from AMD or nVidia, like the GT440, they have sound output over HDMI and that is set as the default. Go into the control panel, click on sound, and under playback you should see a list of your devices, mainline the your motherboard audio and your video card audio. Select your motherboard or sound card and set it as default. The Set at Default dropdown box is on the bottom. Once it's set as default a little green checkbox should appear next to it and you'll be back to hearing sound out of your speakers.
