New graphics card help

Forum Graphics & Displays : Graphics Cards New graphics card help

Currently I have an nVidia 220 GT that came with the computer when I bought it a couple years ago. I have a 350w power supply. The motherboard model is MS-7613 (Ionia -GL8E) and the generic model for the computer from HP is "HPE-150t."

What I'm wondering is if a Radeon 5670 or 6670 would work well enough in my computer, or if I should get a new power supply and then a more powerful graphics card to go with it (and if so which one)? :bounce:

Edit: Would like to add that I want to keep everything under $150

both the 5670 and 6670 will work in ur PC without a PSU upgrade.
If you want an upgrade under USD150, you could get something like a Silverstone Strider 500watt and HD6770.

If the 6670 would work without a PSU upgrade, what would be the benefit of getting a new PSU?

get both in that budget psu and gpu because 300w psu is not good and only the last limit for that psu will be hd 6670 so i suggest u both in that budget.

Thanks for all your responses.

One more question, and it might seem noobish, but which thing do you look at with PSU's and their case/mobo that will ensure the PSU's you guys have linked will fit?
