I want to buy a gpu and will run it for 1year maximum...So suggest a good GPU which can play new games like MW3 without any prob with that resolution.

Here are my current specs :

17" CRT (1024 x 768 )
amd athlon x3 445 rana 3.1 ghz
2x2gb 1333mhz RAM
asus m4n68t-m le v2 mobo
250w psu

You can look at a couple cards. GT 440, Radeon 6670 or 7750.

These cards don't need the power supply to connect to it.

? how much fps will i likely to get with that card ?

A 6670 should be fine at that resolution. But you will still need a PSU. It's not that the GPU works on it's own power, but you still need the power for the mobo and such. But you might even be able to play them on ultra.

I would maybe recommend a bigger power supply though. 200w is very small. At least 500W.

With the cards he listed, there is no need for a power supply upgrade. Thats a pretty low resolution, so most games will run on it.

But if you are going to upgrade the monitor in a year, you might something with a bit more punch for future-proofing, unless you plan to upgrade at that time.

How much watt psu should i need to buy ?

Yeah like Deemo said, you may need a bigger PSU if you decide to get a bigger screen. But You probably won't need more than 500W. Especialy if you plan on getting a better graphics card or plan on using Crossfire.

This GPU that i'm going to buy is for 1year only and with that resolution(1024 x 768 ).I will buy the whole new rig after 1year.

If you are that concerned with power go for the GT 440.

You said you will be upgrading in a year so you don't have to consider purchasing a new PSU.

But, if you wanted to still buy a PSU a 350W or 400W is sufficient for all these cards.

Okay that will be fine then. Just add in the 6670 and your rig will be good. The 6670 only uses roughly 70 watts.


So my current 250w is fine for hd 6670 ?
