What is the make/model of your PSU?

I'd say the best card for your budget would be the 5670 but it's priced just a little out of your range.

Take note that your mobo use's a 1.0 PCI-express x16 slot.And although 2.1 cards and 1.0 slots were made to be backwards compatible that their are some known issues with this.So my advice is that when your looking for a card make sure you get a 2.0 card.

I forgot that at your resultion you don't need anything more than 512mb of VRAM.

Here's the same card but more in your price range.

@ purple stank : thanx for the answer purple ,
my psu is standard 450 watt .
Wew , do u mean i must change motherboard ?
Do the performance pci-e vga 2.0 will be reduced in 1.0 slot ?

No it's not performance it's just a general error between the 2.1 cards and the 1.0 mobo's.2.0 cards will work fine with 1.0 slots.It's just the 2.1 cards that are known to have issues with 1.0 slots.

Your PSU should be fine for a 6670/5670 or even a 5770/6770.

Is your budget pretty tight or can you stretch it to about $30 more? The 5670 is a nice card but I believe if you spend the extra $30 more you can get a 5770 and play those games maxed out or at least on high settings.


Do you happen to know what size your case is?Would you think it's a low-profile case or a Mini-Tower/Mid-Tower?

What is SF 4?

@ purple stank : ic purple , thanx .

My case is mid tower case .
I would love to stretch the budget , but it's pretty tight right now , he5 .
I just can't wait to play alice , so i decided to buy new vga in my range .

Sf 4 is street fighter 4 , awesome game ho5 .

Btw purple , how about radeon hd 4650 could it do those games in 720p ?

Actually all the games your looking to play aren't to particularlary demanding.You can easily get a 5670 and max out those games except SC2,I think you'll have to settle for medium settings for that game.

The 4650 is a very old card.I suggest going with a newer card from the 5xxx series.

I actually found a whole bunch of 5670's over at TigerDirect.

Here's what I think is best 5670 for you.
