	Log in to remove this sponsored message this is my PC and I was thinking about this one,Does it have enough connections?I may put a card in lator so thats why the 550watt. What would be a good card too,You can see the pc is not too powerful(e5400).I dont want there to be a bottleneck.Find me an older card maybe that wont have trouble with this older hardware thanks. edit budget $200 or less for both,I am building a whole new pc some day so I just want to get rid of this possible flaky power supply and get a decent card while im at it.Id like it more to be $150. But it depends if itll be worthwhile. Edit: Jul 26, 12 1:26pm -------------------

The Power Supply would be fine for running a new video card, you need to remember to connect the 6 pin power cable/s if the new video card you buy needs it. you're using this desktop for gaming? if you can afford it, get a Radeon HD6850 -------------------

	how bout something like this,$150 for the card seems like alot I dont know Ill think about it.It could be a long while for my build. are these express cards ok?Im not looking to play really new games.Maybe just some older racing games would be nice like GTR2 or something.Or some other sims. edit The power supply may be overkill with this one.I could get a smaller power supply but same kind.They have a few different ones.Maybe 350 watt would be enough.I can save a good chunk.But its not modular.

That video card (HD6670) should be fine for those games. looks like the computer is only using on-board VGA/DVI now. -------------------

I want it for better browsing too,But thanks for helping me decide.So I should order this soon.And hopefully can figure it out,I have youtube on my xbox.So I can watch some vids if I get stuck.Ive only ever put ram and a scanner card once a long time ago. -------------------
