Graphics card questions... Again

[DaSord213]

I'm looking at a graphics card on newegg(shocker there? I've had like 4 gpu topics lol), and I found this one and it looks good to me, so I'm asking for everyone's opinions.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814162078

current specs are:
AMD Athlon II x4 635 - Quad core 2.9ghz
~6gb of ram
430w Thermaltake PSU (May upgrade if needed)
nVidia GeForce 8400GS - 512mb vram(?)
and that's the important stuff I believe

I don't expect to play every game on max settings but I want more than what my current card can give me. also the free game sweetens what appears to be a good deal to me. Also I would say that $175 is my limit for cards, seeing as i need to buy a new mouse, headset w/ mic, and maybe keyboard.

For an extra 20 dollars a 460 is a lot better

It doesn't have the... whatever it's called output I need. Can't remember the name of it :|
Though I could possibly buy another HDMI cable for it but iunno

460s come with two DVI ports and a mini HDMI port, and also two DVI to VGA adapters and a mini HDMI to HDMI cable.

It comes with a DVI to VGA adapter, this shouldn't be a problem.

Bump. I would also need to buy a new PSU for that, and I don't really know PSUs so can I get a good recommendation under $75 that can support this card?

I'm at $175 from the gpu and a new mouse, and I don't want to go far above $250 before shipping.

Why not purchase an ATI/AMD graphics card? You get more bang for your buck.

[devildogelite]

That psu should be good enough.

Which one?

It will? My last PSU fried because it didn't meet the requirements, but that may have been lower wattage.
