Replace Graphic Card

[jpvm]

My graphic Card is broken so I need a new one.

My PC has this setup:

Asus A8N-E
AMD 64 3200
2GB RAM
HIS Radeon X800GTO IceQ II (Broken graphic Card)
Power Suplly: 400W - Peak 380W(-20.5W) - Steady 286W(-23W) +3.3V(28A)/+5V(38A)/+12V(18A)/-12V(0.8A)/-5V(0.5A)/+5Vsb(2A)



Is this card good for my setup ? - XFX RADEON EHD4670 1GB DDR2 PCI-E Do I need a new Power Supply?

Thanks

Definitely not. I didn't even know they made DDR2 HD4670s but you don't want one. Get a 512mb DDR3 version. The extra memory on a 1gig is entirely useless for an HD4670.
Your PSU should be ok. Just to be safe you may want to consider an HD4650(DDR3) instead. With that processor I don't think the difference would matter much and the HD4650 is cheaper and uses very little power.

The DDR2 versions are a bit slower. As jyjjy said the extra memory is a bit useless in most cases on a 4670 since anything that really needs that much memory will probably run too slow on it anyway. There are a few exceptions, but not many. If you want to run two of them in crossfire then the picture may change a little in favor of the 1GB cards with certain games and with certain settings. Anyway the extra speed of the 512MB DDR3 will generally serve you better.

You don't need a new PSU, but I think it would be a good idea to get a good one, just to be safe, and one that you can use when you upgrade your system latter on.

your cpu would probably bottleneck the HD 4670 anyway,
4650 ddr3 would be my advice
