Ok, well I actually got a few question, hope someone can really help me. I have over 400 PC games, and some wont allow me to play b/c the shader model 3.0! Im using a Nvidia Geforce 5200FX. Now What can I get that will allow me to play those games? I didnt want to over do it, just something to get these games working good.

Also, I was looking into a Geforce 7300GT, 7600GT or Radeon x1650, which is best for my money? Or what do you recommend under $85?

Last question (promise, I wont take that long....lol) I seen that the requirments for some of these cards ask for a power supply of 300-400 watts. How can I see which one I have, and with all the stuff I got in my system, how much I have available?

Any help will be appreciated......Thanks in Advance

Regardless of which graphics card you buy, get a new power supply. If your PC's a prebuilt one, it'll have a cheap low output unit, and could cause severe issues if overloaded. Get something like a 430W Thermaltake. That should suffice for a card like a 7600GT.
