Depends. How much do you want to spend? How much gaming will you do? Also what kind of CPU do you have? Because if you have a slow CPU a graphics card upgrade wont help as much.

The 2600XT uses almost no power whatsoever, I think it's about 50-70W. Compared with the 150W of the HD4870 for example, that's not much.
