You can get the HD 4850 from Newegg for $135.00 right now if you want a little extra oomph.

But keep the HD 4670 if you don't have the PSU for the HD 4850.

PSU? How much power would you need for a HD 4850? Is 500 watts good enough?

What games will you be playing on the HTPC?

Just FYI, I run an HD 4850 with a 380w Earthwatts PSU.

PC + Wii owners unite. Our last-gen dying platforms have access to nearly every 90+ rated game this gen. Building a PC that visually outperforms PS360 is cheap and easy. Oct 7th 2010 predictions (made Dec 17th '08)

500 watts would be fine as long as the PSU is good quality and the 12volt rails provide enough power. You'll also want to make sure it has at least one (preferably 2) 6 pin PCI-E power connectors.

Hey Squil, if you haven't bought your card yet, take a look at this.

ATi just announced the HD4830. Price should drop another $20-30 real soon just like the 4850 and 4870 did.
