Well I got this card for $95 shipped on an ebay auction, new. What bugged me the most was that I read reviews where they refer to it as a "Slow Edition", lol. I'm pretty sure its an upgrade to my integrated HD 4200. Was thinking of selling it for $135 shipped and buy a $250 gpu, what would you guys advise me to do. I dont have a mobo that supports sli, but was seriously thinking of buying one and I have an AMD Athlon II x4 630 @2.8 Ghz (stock). The only games I really do play are cs, css, gta 4. And regular school work.

Here's the card: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814130591

Well it's definately miles ahead of your HD 4200. Alot of people don't like the GTX 460SE because of it being a cut-down version of a GTX 460 1GB. 2 in SLI should rock, though.
 
It really isn't that much slower than the 460. In fact in many situations it's just as fast as the 460 768MB. You'll be fine; overclock it if you wish. You don't need to SLI for the games you play. You'll have trouble finding a good, official SLI board. At stock speeds in the games you play your processor will hold back two in SLI. At $95 I consider what you got the fastest (new) card you can get, so it's not really accurate to call it a "slow edition" if you look at the price you paid.
 
It is already overkill for those games. You should be fine. I played CSS on my HD 3200 yesterday and it was pretty solid at 1080p and medium settings. It is a 6 year old game.
 
Don't listen to those people. It's stil la good card and at that price it's almost a steal.

The only reason why this isn't a popular card is the buyers remorse that you get when you realize you bought a crippled chip.
 
Your computer only has a 250W power supply. You need about twice that much for this card. You will not be able to use it.
 
While the "SE" version is a bit slower than the regular GTX 460 - it is still quite powerful and an excellent overclocker. It's hard to beat at the price you paid.

I bought a CORSAIR CMPSU-650TX 650W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified not too long ago, payed $55 new on ebay.
 
that card is going to dump heat in that HP case that certainly does not have decent airflow. I know it doesn't have a front fan and many don't even have a rear fan either.
