You would need a new PSU to upgrade the GPU significantly. I suggest you get a new PSU then save up and get a 4850

Upgrade the gpu a 4850 for about a $100 would give you at least 3 times the performance.

If you have a 300w psu the 5670 can run on it. With a typical Pc with a 5670 only uses 230w.

there is absolutely no need to upgrade a Q6600 right now. it's overkill for any game. your graphics card sucks bad. that's your pc's weakness. get a gtx 260 or radeon 4870

see... i have a 600w PSU, upgraded it few months ago... i'd like a DX11 card (for future games) but its not a REAL 600W PSU... like the HD5670 cause the budget price but i dont want to change the graphics card at least for a year or 2... keep suggesting please

btw, exist some way to get Crossfire or SLi without 6-pin connector or even with my PSU?
