So I recently just built a new computer and I intend to buy a new video card. I don't know what to buy because my PSU is only 430W. I also don't want to get something to find out that it doesn't fit in my case or run because of my PSU.
My Comp Specs:
Antec 300 Mid Tower Case
Western Digital Caviar Black 40GB 7200 RPM
LG 22X DVD±R DVD
PNY 4GB (2 x 2GB)
Antec Basiq BP430 430W
GIGABYTE GA-MA770-UD3 AM2+/AM2 AMD 770 ATX AMD Motherboard
AMD Athlon 64 X2 7750 Kuma 2.7GHz Socket AM2+ 95W
Acer X223Wbd 22" Widescreen LCD Monitor
Windows Vista Ultimate 32bit
So what are my limits as to how decent a gpu I can get? Someone said I could go up to a HD4850 without problems but I'm not really sure I can go up that high. I don't intend to change any other parts of the comp since I just recently got the parts. Anyways I hope to get some feedback and thanks in advance.
Edit: Forgot to mention some stuff. Games I intend to play are like WoW, Oblivion, L4D. My max buget would be around the $80s and I don't mind waiting for a sale because I'm not really in a rush because of school. If you need any more info I would be glad to post.
