Bugdet? What brand is the PSU? What motherboard do you have? Does it have a PCI-E slot?

 

[blowa fuse]

not sure on the brand of the psu at the moment , the motherboard is old it is a
nforce 4m-a socket am2 only from researching, was hoping to find a bios update but no avail, budget max 80 quidish yes it has a pci e slot currently home to a geforce 7300 128mb,

if its relevent info i got a 19" widescreen monitor

cheers

I'm assuming the resolution on the monitor is 1440x900?

YOUR BASKET
1 x Asus HD 6770 1024MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card £77.99
Total : £86.69 (includes shipping : £7.25).



However, I highly recommend replacing the PSU if possible, if your current one is not a good brand. Something like this: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-059-CS&groupid=701&catid=123&subcat=

I moved the pc to its new home this evening and installed some extra ram, i did have a good look at the psu and its not a quality brand, after taking onboard your advice i think a new psu has to be the next upgrade because i want to oc the processer aswell.

cheers

If it is a generic brand 450W PSU, I wouldn't go for any graphic card higher than a 6670, which would require addition PCI-E 6pin power rather than just bus-powered.

A 6750 is a bus powered card that you might get away with your current psu
