    I want to buy a new graphic card, can someone help me chose?


    Right now i got a NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 and i want a new graphic card. Im looking for a gaming card to buy and i dont know much about graphic cards thats why i need help choosing. Something about my PC:

    AMD Phenom(TM) 9650 quad core processor, ACER x193w monitor (1440x900), NVIDIA GeForce GT 120, 5 years old pc

    Right now i got 1400 dkk which is 187.69 euro and im going to buy my graphic card from this site Grafikkort - Hardware - EDBpriser - find og sammenlign de bedste priser og tilbud på danmarks bedste prisguide

    I can also save up more money if needed.

    Edit: my pc is from packard bell model: PBBGL00 x64-Based PC

    You will need a new, trusted and 80+ certified PSU if you want any other card, or any new hardware component for that matter.

    The bad news: you'll have a hard time finding even a low-end graphics card that will (officially) require less than a 350 or 400w power supply.

    The good news is that it looks like the PSU is a standard ATX one, so replacing it would be straightforward. (The 140mm length is shorter than some, but I doubt that'll be an issue.)

    The further bad news is that good power supplies aren't free. I suggest at least a 500W PSU from one of the trusted makers (Seasonic, Corsair, and Antec, although there are others).

    Is there any chance of you building a new computer in the next year or so.....or after this upgrade, will you keep using this computer for awhile? The reason I ask is because if you are just needing one for this upgrade, you can get away with a lower power unit, but if you plan on building a new computer soon, you should get a better power supply that you can use for the new build. Thinking ahead will save you money.
