i hope i dont have to change my psu after i buy this card , and the system does not get overheated, although i will check the pros and cons of it on the net, just thought from a user's point of view. any geforce cards that u can suggest. Thanks a lot for the advice and help.

You can run that from a 500w easy...lower than that will depend on the quality of your PSU...try it before you buy another. If you have random crashes when the card gets a load you'll know the problem. It vents heat out the back, so as long as you have a decent airflow in your case you are good. The closest thing to that card in performance from nvidia is the gtx260, and they start at around $160

The card 4870 is ideal in that price range.

Regarding the PSU:
A 400w can run it but a 500w cannot!

I mean a quality 400w PSU can run it but an el cheapo 500w cannot.

Mention your PSU.

You mean Intel Core 2 Quad Q8400. Could you be more spefic. And your PSU spefications. Then I can recommend a decent graphics card. No offense man I just like precise information given 😉 .

It comes down to the PSU, the 4850 makes the most sense, but the 4670 is the best if the PSU becomes a problem...

 

[daeshat]

the exact config is pentium core 2 quad 2.4ghz (L808a517) and the psu is 400w.

 

[daeshat]

its pentium Q6600 @ 2.40 ghz , with 400w psu, sorry for the earlier post that was the processor model no.

Please specify the entire graphic card name. Thank you.

Best card in that range would likely be this one:

HIS H487QT1GP Radeon HD 4870 1GB
