    Video Card Upgrade for an HP P6645JP?

    A friend of mine has an HP system (model P6645JP) and would like to upgrade the graphics card (stock: GeForce 315) to the best performing card that will work. So, my question: what's the best gaming card that will work with a crappy 300W power supply? Would the 6670 or 6770 be candidates...

    Add a 3TB Storage (non-boot) Drive -> Windows Won't Load
