Aspire X3200 220W PSU - GPU Needed

[Kezmeister]

Hi,

I'm for a Low Profile card which I can continue playing Diablo 3, GW2 and World Of Warcraft on. My current 9500gs card has just gave out on me. It was running the games, but on Diablo3 I had terrible loading screens.

Can anyone recommend/advise on a cheap card to squeeze another 4 months out of my toaster to play these games, till I can build my own rig.

It supports PCI Express® 2.0 x16 graphics card support (low-profile)
and I'm on 3GB of DDR2 Ram and AMD Phenom 8550 triple core 2.2ghz

Right I've grabbed myself a Radeon HD5670 and a 300w PSU.

Will I need to upgrade the Ram or CPU or should this do me fine for those games and reduce the diablo loading screens for me now?

If I do need to upgrade any of those then I found this is the best I can go to;

1. Any first generation dual/quad/triple core athlons/phenoms (not to sure if I can change from a phenom to athlon though)
2. A max of 4gb of ddr2 ram ( 2 slots ) .. support for pc2-5300 and pc2-6400

I would not bother upgrading the system past the card and power supply, especially if you are replacing it.
