i wanted to ask some questions about video cards if i have a 300 watt dell stock PSU it is a good one im pretty sure and the computer itself is a inspiron 518 i was wondering what is the best choice for a video card either
http://directron.com/vcg96512gxeb.html <-9600gt
http://directron.com/pvt95gyar2.html <-low profile 9500gt
http://directron.com/512p3n856lr.html <-low profile 9600gt
http://directron.com/100236l.html <-HD3650
or this one which is the 9600GSO but i think that will be too much for the PSU
http://directron.com/512p3n963tr.html

or if you have any other preferences that would be better than any one of these please get back to me asap cause i reall need a video card soon so i can start gaming and i will be playing games like COD 4 and 5 and GTA and FIFA and more and thanks for all your help and id prefer not to change the PSU now but in the future i probably will and i have 2 molex plugs they are converted from sata plugs and please get back to me asap casue i really need to get one soon and dont know what my best option is

What's your computer configuration? You could also look at the ATI 4770. It's almost double the performance of 9600GT, but its difficult to find one in stock anywhere.

Well you are linking to standard and low-profile cards. Which one do you need?

The 4670 is a good choice but the 4770 only uses a couple watts more. Text

Most ppl here will tell you your psu can't handle a 4770 but i'm guessing it would probably work.

i have a core 2 duo 2.53 GHz and 4GB RAM and 4770 is too expensive its like 225 i was looking to keep it in the range of 100-120 max 125 and the card doesnt have to be low profile i was just thinking that with the 300 watt it would be better for it to be low profile but i dont want it to be i just want the bes card i can get for the pc so either 9600 gt or one of the at 4700 series but which one i dont know

where are you buying from? the 4770 shouldn't be very expensive....

anyways, i'd probably recommend the hd4670, but of course, the 4770 would be a better choice, performance-wise.
