I want to evolve from the integrated graphics card that my pc brought, preferably before Vista. I don't have a large budget, want something that will be able to handle some gaming and photoshop efficiently. I have the following card in mind: SAPPHIRE 100189L Radeon X1900GT 256MB 256-bit GDDR3 VIVO PCI Express x16 VIVO HDCP Video Card - Retail
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814102022
what do you think? Is there a better card around it's price range, + or - $20.
Now my biggest problem is the power supply, i have read around the forum that it need to be a certain size (i don't know mines) and don't know how much I need for the system to run great (HP Pavilion a1250n Desktop PC ).
please if anyone could help me out.
