The main problem with getting a new video card is the 250 watt power supply that is in your computer .

That and your price range should limit your choice , most of the cards so far recommended require 400+ PS.

Well you are lucky, that model has a PCI Express card slot.  A lot of these cheap computers don't have that.

If you don't have $50-$70 dollars to spend don't bother.  There are alot of good cards out there these days in that price range.  I did not see the 250w power supply in the specs, but if that is what it has, it will severely limit your choices.

At this moment, i have a 50$ visa card.I can probably rake in another 20$... So thats around 70$...

Think i can get what im lookin for?

I ran a 7950 that ran AoC just fine, and cost <$50. I think 8600 is a good bet if you can find it, and 9600 would be a good value and run it on decent settings. The 9800 low end is $100, 9800 high end around $130 ish.

I would suggest the 8600GT. I run this card in another box, it's by no means a powerhouse, but you should be able to run with mid-range settings without problems. It'll be a vast improvememnt over what you have currently.

8600 GTs    <---- Here's a few.

Like I posted earlier, unless your power supply is putting out at least 26A on the 12V rail(s), you will not be able to run any of the x800 series cards, along with all the 9 series. The 8600 will be pushing it.

Again, good luck.

Just to hold me over until i buy the 8600 ( im probably gunna go for it because of my power supply )....

I was wonderin if theres any fun Mmo's my system would be able to run. They can be f2p or p2p.. just not WoW.. im bored with it.

I had a 6150 in my system about  a few months ago and then it burned up ...... so I bought a 9800 GX2 1GB DDR3 and I'd have too say its one of the best cards out there, soon I'll add a second one when I can afford it lol

Im pretty happy with my 4670, for 70 euros i can play most games in ultra quality

Is there a way for me to actually tell how much PSI i have... Because i want to verify if its really 200

I think you mean PSU 

And yes, you can. Open the case to the computer, the PSU will be the cubelike thing at the top where the power cord plugs in. On that cube there should be a sticker with all the stats, just don't open the PSU!

Without opening it, you could see if you still have the invoice/sales slip/receipt or what-have-you laying around somewhere. It should detail what you purchased.

no problem. btw, i saw online that it's actually 300 watts.

I havnt opened it yet, but i am pretty sure that it is more than 200. But we'll see...

Well, the replacement part directly from HP is here .

Again, without physically looking inside the compueter, I'm going to assume it is a 250W.

With a little more searching, this particular PSU has a single 12V rail rated at 14A.

Let us know when you find out for sure.

Good Luck.
