Need something to replace my old 7600GT. It was nice but I frankly got tired of listening to its fan sounding like a jet engine in my room.
I'm not an heavy gamer who plays any of the really demanding FPS games, but maybe for older games like Team Fortress 2 and something like the new starcraft 2 when it comes out.
Looking to spend around $100-150, relatively powerful in that range but also quiet. Either ATI/Nvidia is fine.
There are some limits though, I have an older 400w PSU with no pcie connector so I think it rules out some of the newer cards like ATI 4850 or even a 9800GT.
Getting a new PSU isn't impossible but I don't know if it's worth the money just to get something pretty average now like a 4850 or even a 4870.
thanks for the help.
