What PSU do you have? Wattage and brand?

How much do you want to spend?

What motherboard/CPU do you have?

That motherboard is also pretty old. Depending on what CPU you have you may want to consider saving up some cash and get a new mobo cpu graphics combo as just buying a new graphics card may not get you any better performance as the CPU could be the bottleneck.

Also something to note due to the old motherboard, there are different PCI-E versions and if you put a newer graphics card into an older PCI-E slot it may not work.


That being said maybe an ATI Radeon HD6670 would suit you best.
