Theres the motherboard information, looks good as the system is rated to take a processor which uses more power than what your system uses, up to 89W

That tells me your processor is rated as up to 65W

So the overall system including processor ought to use less than 100W, don't worry about the power supply inefficiencies. I feel good that you can use either:

  • HD 5670 (any card, though go with the one William Watts linked as its dual slot and $85 after MIR)
  • or anything weaker than that such as the 5650 or 5570 depending on your budget.

You could use something like a 5750, but at some risk to your computer given its age. I feel confident in a 5670 however.

 


do you think this graphics card is good enough? NVIDIA GeForce GT240 1GB PCI Express Graphics Card
