Just bought the Hp Desktop that was 299, the specs are:

AMD Athlon 64 X2 4000
2GB PC-5300 ddr2
320GB SATA
Vista Premium


Any clue what the best video card I can put in this thing w/o replacing the power supply? Its mostly for WoW. Thanks
 
Try this Power Calculator

Figuring out your system in in this calculator, with an NVidia 8600GT, gives a total of 208 Watts. The 8600GT is a low power consumption card that would go well with your system.

I recommend NVidia because you already have NVidia integrated graphics on your system and it is much simpler/safer to stay with the same driver family when upgrading to a discrete videocard

You can't push things too much with 250W PSU
