He has a 300W PSU so the maximum would probably be:

But you'd have to look inside your computer to make sure you have two of these available to plug something into:



But overall it would run all modern console ports at full HD.

That's pretty cheap. Are their any performance differences between that AMD and a similar NVidia card? I heard that NVidia cards were better overall, but I don't keep up on that stuff.

When I opened my PC a few months ago for cleaning, I'm pretty sure I saw two power cables, but I'll be checking when I get home. Thanks for the input.

AMD currently has the design wins in the next generation consoles and their architecture is pretty great. They are about equivalent with nVidia but given the fact you have a weak PSU the better energy efficiency of AMD ought to be better because the AMD architecture hard caps the power consumption so I can be more comfortable recommending it.

Thanks for the advice. I think I might just upgrade my PSU to a 500W as well, but if I don't, I'll just go with the Radeon 7750 you suggested.
