Hello,
I want to buy a graphic card for my pc and i'm with doubt about what card to buy, i'm thinkin in:

Galaxy - GeForce GT 440 1GB DDR3 ;
PNY - NVIDIA GeForce GT 545 1.5GB DDR3 ;
EVGA - GeForce GT 430 1GB GDDR3 ,

My pc informations are:

Mother board: MS- 7525
memory card 4gb
processor: Core Duo E7500 -2,93Ghz
PCI Express x16
power supply: 300W

i want to play games like NFS shift 2 and baseball 2k11, what kind of card would you recommend for me?

thanks already!
 
thanks but the gtx 550 the power supply is 400W or greater ......the power supply from my pc is 300W, i don't understand so much about that but, with the configurations that i have with 4gb of memory and 2.9ghz, can i put the 400W?
or just 300?

as i saw the DDR5 graphics is 400W or greater , i don't know if that works...
thanks

If U cant Upgrade Your PSU than Go for 5670 DDR5..
I Used GT430 and It Just Sucks.
I Am Currently Using EVGA GTS 450 and It is Good with Antec450 Watt PSU(36Amps)..

Graphic card workability depends on amps on the 12 V rails of ur PSU,, How much are they?? check on the label of PSU there will b written 12V 1 output and 12v 2 output can b one rail also,, add the amps on both and than multiply them with 12 you will get the Power for GPU eg. 12V 1= 13Amp 12V2 =13 Amp totall = 13+13 X 12=316Watt...
Now Search cArd

That PNY 545 require 18Amp If v1+v2=more than 20 than ur Pc will take it.
If u can go for ATI then Go for 5670 if u dont want to upgrade PSU if u can upgrade
PSU than buy GTS450.

Search for the Amp requirement of any card u are looking not The PSU they Say...

And iif u dont have Bigger LCD than u dont need much graphic Memory . i used 5670 512MB on 1280x1024 and it is enough with 32bit OS.
go for it if u dont have much money and upgrade PSU if u still remain cash..

My LCD is a HP 19"...HP w1907

and i just want upgrade my psu only with de graphic card...that ATI that you were talking is that?

The Additional System Requirements is :

PCI Express-based PC with 1 x16 lane graphics slot on the motherboard; CD-ROM drive

and my Psu have the PCI Express x16

so, i can put that card here?......i'm not seeying anything about 300W or more....
thanks for the patience =D
 
thanks for the tips s9y143
but i will buy just the card, and what you think about the Visiontek ATI Radeon HD 5670 2GB DDR3 ?

She needs only 300W power supply, that's what i have, you think that is better than the gt 545?

thanks again
