I want to get one of these cards, but I hear the power draw in them is high. If that's the case, I might need a new mobo as this one is pretty old. But If I do that, I may as well upgrade my CPU, Only got enough on hand to get one right now. This GPU, or a CPU + mobo combo. What to dooo?

If you're really concerned you can always choose to lower the PowerTune setting:

As you can see setting it to -20% will cut power consumption by 30W(20%) while only lowering performance by about 5%.
