I agree with the HD7750.

You can find the HD7750 for ~$100 these days. It is ~3X as fast as the HD5670 and uses just a little more power than the HD5670 too. Since your CPU is unlikely to be fast enough to keep the HD7750 busy, the HD7750 will likely end up using a lot less power and this may let you stretch your generic HP PSU's lifespan a little longer.

You have to be careful about which model you get. Some 7750s have DDR3 memory and you can find them NEW at around $80 and others have GDDR5 which provides about twice the RAM bandwidth and cost closer to $100 new.

With a GDDR5 HD7750, you can play most games with most eye candy enabled at 1920x1080p.

If you want to know how much these are worth used, eBay is your friend.
