Looking for a fairly decent graphics card that would not strain my psu. Not to bothered if it can not keep up with all the new game releases.

Only a select few i would be buying and prob not ones that are all bout graphics either. Looking just to be able to play games that are out now and older ones i have.

Money not much a issue not really wanting to spend more than 300 max what would you guys recomend?
 
Also, can you tell us how many 6-pin PCIxpress power connectors you have?

They look like the above picture, but they may or may not be labeled.
 
I know for a fact i have one of them remember seeing it when i put in the psu. How much of them do i need? think their is 3 of them will check later
 
The HD6870 I linked above requires 2x 6 pin PCI-Ex connectors. Your PSU has one 6 pin connector, you will also need a twin molex to 6pin PCI express to the connect the 2nd one.

The HD6870 includes this additional connector.
