Hi, i've been looking for a new graphics card because right now I have a really crappy 3-4 year old one (geforce 6150 SE).
My comp is an AMD athlon64 dual core processor 5400+ and 2.80GHz
The ram is 4gb and im running on vista 64 bit

I want to be able to play a game using the source engine at highest settings possible, and want to get the best for gaming and stay within a reasonable price range. Any help with what graphics card PSU etc I should get would be GREATLY appreciated.

what games & how much do you want to spend but remember most likely need to incorporate cost of new psu in budget? can you post the dimensions of the psu to see what size you have & hope it is a standard size?

Scratch this thread, after looking more into my computer it turns out its too small to replace the PSU with anything higher then 200w, so i'm going to build my own. Thanks for the help though.
