Hello, I am currently considering purchasing a new graphics card for my computer, but my power supply is only 250w so I am having trouble finding anything decent to use. I am planning to use it mostly for gaming. I really am kind of clueless when it comes to computer hardware, and from what my friends tell me upgrading the power supply can be pretty tricky...so I would really prefer not to do that. I have seen a couple reviews for some graphics cards, that recommend 300-400w power supplies in their system requirements, with people saying they run perfectly fine with 250w....but I am nervous that it could damage my computer or just cause me to waste money to try that lol. Below is a link to my computer model and specs...it is a Compaq SR5214x and everything on mine is the same except that I have 2GB ram instead of 1GB. Does anyone have an idea as to, basically, what the best video cards available for 250w power supply are? Thanks alot in advance for the help!
