if i have a very low powered power supply
which graphic card should i use
Radeon HD 5670 or Radeon HD 6670?

or are there any other cards
 
The 6670 uses 2 watts more but is a better card.

But without knowing your exact psu power it's hard to say if these will run, could be a 200 W for all i know.

To be sure you can open your case and look at the info at the side of the psu. It shoulde state the Amperes on the 12V rail(s) to.
 
at your res, gameplay is more dependent on the cpu than the gpu. still, a 5670/6670 with gddr5 is probably the best you can benefit from.
your psu is an important factor. if your psu can't support it, no use getting it.
what are the amps on the +12v rail on your psu?
iirc the 5670 has 61w tdp, the 6670 has 66w.
 
I mean that your motherboard has probably a pci-e version 1.0 slot. Sometimes with older motherboards the AMD pci-e 2.1 graphic card don't work with the motherboard.
It doesn't happen often but i'm not confident enough with motherboards to promise you it will work.

Maybe someone else who reads this can tell you. ( Jijjy ? )

Or try to google to see if anyone else with your mobo has done this before.

All this is theoraticly btw. you really should first open your case and have a look at the powersupply.

Get the MSI R6670-MD1GD5 from smc international. It is supported by DG41RQ. You specs are ok for medium gaming at mid/max settings with no/2xAA. The only concern is your power supply.

"heavy gaming" - depends on what games you intend to play...

Your processor and RAM are at bare minimum for most newer games.. so don't expect amazing results.

Yes it should run... i'm letting you know that your setup will not produce great quality... performance at low settings should be fine.. just don't expect decent FPS at medium settings and good resolution.

Again... depends on games... not sure what those require. Those are "older"... cannot give you a solid answer sorry. I'm guessing you will be fine.
