any help

I'm assuming the PSU doesn't have a PCIe power connector:

so you'll need a GPU that doesn't require one. A 7750 would be good at $110: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814161403
or a 6670 at $55 after rebate/$70 before: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102952

Oh, OK. In that case, probably a 6770. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121474

It has one 6-pin cable connector required for this card and it has 25A combined amps, so I think it's very good for you. Another option is a 7750, it's newer and much more efficient, without requiring those 6-pin cable. It has also newer technology and technically be fine on your PSU.

Thaaaat's what I said. Yes.

At 1366X768, for $100, I'd tell you to get the HD 6770 like the other members told you.

hd 7750 is the best for your psu with newer tech doesnt uses that much power and gives the performance as hd 6770 and doesnt require externel power connector as refillable said.
