    Always go to nvidia.com or amd.com to download your video card drivers :)

    Unless it`s a laptop, then you go directly to the manufacturer`s website.

    I'll second what AddRam has said and add Gigiabyte. I have had good luck with their video cards and they come with a 3 year warranty.

    Any of these should work without needing a larger power supply but do check the specs. They will be fine for casual gaming and watching DVD's or Blu Ray. No they won't play the withcher 3.:)
