Yea i'll probably spend the $200 so i can upgrade my psu cuz it sure needs it.

I suggest looking for a motherboard with a decent integrated chip on it.

i personally would never go for integrated graphics, they are almost always poor. :/

Almost always seems to be an understatement lol...

EVGA 512-P3-N971-TR GeForce 9800 GT 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card - Retail

im telling you, you will be alot better with this card... even more so with a new power supply

But isn't his computer gonna lock up with the 305w atm? Because some powerful Graphic card is a power guzzler.

EDIT: LOL didn't read all the way xP.

Anyway, the 4000 HD series only need 400 of power so you only need at least a 500-450w of power, if you plan to go for crossfire go for the 600 PSU.

i would get a better card its just that if i did it would be over $200
