Hi, I've been searching the net for awhile for a graphics card that can fit my power supply limits (210W) and I just can't find any. I'm looking for at least, a high-end Geforce FX card to a Geforce 7 card; my system specs below:
PSU: 210W
Graphics Slots: 1 (1) x PCI-E x16Can anyone find some for me, it'll be GREATLY appreciated as my current graphics card (integrated) is old...very old. My current budget would allow me to spend a minimum of $50 to a max of $300, or so. Personally, I'd prefer somewhere around the $150-200 mark.
Thanks.

What is the purpose of this upgrade...gaming? If yes, which games are you hoping to play? I suggest you upgrade the PSU & video card at the same time. You can do it for less than $200. Will your case accept a standard ATX PSU?
Antec earthwatts EA430 430W PSU - $30 after rebate
Antec earthwatts EA500 500W PSU - $60
CORSAIR 450W PSU - $60 after rebate
ASUS GeForce 8600GTS 256MB - $60 after rebate
Or if you want even higher end graphics, how about one of these:
EVGA GeForce 8800GS 384MB - $80 after rebate
ASUS GeForce 9600 GSO 384MB - $85 after rebate
POWERCOLOR Radeon HD3850 512MB - $95 after rebate
GIGABYTE Radeon HD3870 512MB - $100 after rebate

Yes, I think mainly gaming...not the hardcore type though. After looking though the PSU's though, they were surprisingly cheap considering the other parts in a computer. Then in that case I might as well upgrade to at least a 500W PSU. Thanks for your replies.
EDIT: Games like Call of Duty 3, the new releases of Command and Conquer (e.g C&C 3), Conflict: Denied Ops...more of a 3D casual gamer.
