    Default New GPU and PSU

    Edit: I have a $200 budget for the GPU

    My graphics card is old a junky and I'm looking to get a better one.
    Current GPU: AMD Radeon HD 6450, 512mb
    Budget: $100-199 (for gpu)
    Slot Type: PCI Express 2.0
    Does this seem good?: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product...82E16814121424
    I currently have a 250W PSU, so I would need to upgrade that too ..?..
    I can't go over that budget for the GPU.
    Suggestions for new GPU and PSU?


    Specs:
    (I went pre-built because I won a gift card for that store)
    Spoiler:
    Model: HP p7-1038
    CPU: AMD Phenom II X6 1065T - 2.9Ghz
    Memory: 8GB 1333mhz DDR3
    HDD: 1.5TB SATA (5400rpm)
    GPU: AMD Radeon HD 6450 (512mb dedicated)
    OS: Windows 7 64-bit
    Motherboard Info:

    3 PCI Express x1 slots

    Memory sockets: 4 x DDR3
    Chipset: AMD 785G

    GPU Budget: $200
    PSU Budget: $100 or less

    Also I'm in Canada so newegg.ca is fine

    You need at least a 500 WATT PSU, that is if you want to be able to run a decent graphics card.
    That card is good though.

    I think you just misread but I have $200 to spend on a GPU, the PSU wasn't specified. But thanks.
    I'm thinking a 560?

    I assumed the budget was for both.

    For the GPU you can get a 560 Ti for ~$220 and use the mail in rebate and it will take it down to about $200.
    Newegg.com - MSI N560GTX-Ti-M2D1GD5/OC GeForce GTX 560 Ti (Fermi) 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card
    Newegg.com - ZOTAC AMP! ZT-50302-10M GeForce GTX 560 Ti (Fermi) 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card

    Post your budget for the PSU and I'll find one that's suitable to your needs. Also, what are your current specs?

    Get a 6950 when they're on sale for 200, which is quite often; also, get a 600-650w PSU so you can get the most out of your system.
