New Graphics Card for Diablo 3

[erawan89]

Hi everyone, I'm fairly new to building computers and installing everything.

I'm looking to upgrade my current graphics card so I can play Diablo 3, I don't have the money to start building a new computer one just yet.

Right now my graphics card is a HD 4200 that came integrated onto the motherboard (asus m4a785-m, never buying one that's integrated again). I was wondering what GPU I could buy that would be under $100 and could run D3 smoothly on at least medium settings if there is one.

Also, would a PSU with 450 watts be enough for w/e GPU you would recommend?. I have an AMD Athlon II quad-core at 2.6 GHz with 4 GB of Ram.

Sorry for any inconvenience and thanks for any help.

It depends on the brand of the Power supply. What country are you from? If you are from US, I'd suggest you get this one:

Though, you'll need to tell the brand and specs of the power supply for us to know if it will work on your PC.

I think it will not be enough for a 6770 I think the PSU is too old, I recommend this instead:

Or if you want to pay more than $100:

Definitely go with the 6670. I played the open beta tonight with my brother and the Sapphire 6670 I have got around 50fps average with most settings on high. High shadow settings and anti-aliasing dropped my FPS to around 30-40 so I kept the settings on medium.
