need a new card

[Xedian]

Hi!
I'm looking for AMD(Radeon) graphic cards
My system has a PCI-E x16 port
Just looking for some good graphics card that will run off 300 watts and works well with intel CPU's.

A 300 watt PSU sounds really iffy. What CPU do you have? What are your build specs?

Intel core i5 4440 3.10 GHz
Can't remember the motherboard, besides it can support a PCI-E x16

I would really get a new PSU if I were you, 300w for a PSU is bad enough, but generally, when they are that low, they are from bad brands anyway, so will likely be even worse than advertised. Also, does it have to be AMD? Because at this price point, Nvidia is better, and more power efficient. Also, what is your budget? And how big is your case?

My case is quite large
Bigger than most cases
I prefer AMD, but any card that is power efficient is good
My budget is around 100 dollars
My current graphics card is an Intel HD 4600 intergrated
300w PSU is eh, I can change it of course, but not right now.

I found a HD 7850 on ebay, for $70 bid or $100 buy it now. http://www.ebay.com/itm/ASUS-HD7850-DC2-2GD5-Radeon-2GB-/121445835647?pt=PCC_Video_TV_Cards&hash=item1c46bc637f

A 7850 and an i5 4440 with a 300 watt psu? Doesn't seem like a good idea..


Edit: Apparently, some people could just about use it for gaming if they had an i3 (which uses much less power) and a good 350w PSU, so definitely get a new PSU.

Its doable if he doesnt overclock. I tried running a core i7 930 and GTX 580 with a ~250W PSU and i could game with it no problem, though i couldnt overclock. but if i was him, I would spend money a better PSU instead of a GPU. if he bids on the gpu and wins for $70 he still has $30 to spend in which he could maybe buy this. http://pcpartpicker.com/part/thermaltake-power-supply-sp550pcbus

If possible, this would be much better:
