im not sure about these graphics cards power consumption, but im sure a 9500gt will let you play those games at medium settings the most provided that you have a decent processor

well for once i was correct in for psu consumation maybe not for 4750 as 4830 doesn't run on 250wats according what i got told but could run on a 320-350wats psu so I'm wondering if by any chance a professional in that domain could certificate if something stronger then 4670 run on that

HD4750 is same fps / power as HD4830 : while i heard would consume less but by how much 10-20-50wats ? if 50wats less could run probably on 250 wats psu

you see i don't know a damn about psu really for there Voltage / & Ampere
But Daytona does he work in a domain about it if i'm correct which is fixing pc / building pc or w/e he is knowing more then me on that i do nothing then review reading i can't know much about psu that way. it take a while to understand everything from those BOX with wattage :D

The Ati 4670 will most likely work. It doesnt need more than 75wats ( it doesnt even have a power connector in the back of the card like other cards have since it draws all the power it needs through the pci-x slot)

It would barely run on 250W considering you dont have many stuff connected like more than 1 hard drive or more than one dvd writer, tv tuners i would suggest either way to get a good 350-400Watt psu ( you can get a good quality one for about 50) considering you might wanna upgrade again or put more hard drives.

Do you have an extra PSU? You can use more than one
