i dont really know much about computers but ive been searching for a new video card..ive notice you have to have a certain amount of watts from your power supply...i have a 375w power supply whats the best video card i can get with that......thanks
 
Need to know a lot more than PSU.

What are the rest of the specs on the system? (CPU, RAM, etc.)

What kind of graphics slot do you have? (PCI, PCI-E or AGP)

If that PSU is decent (Dell ones usually are, actually), you could get a 9600GT, which would be loads better than an 8600gt or 9500gt.

Heck, I could sell you mine for $60 shipped (negotiable), not to shamelessly promote myself. I think anyone could agree that it's a fair price, considering it's been used for less than 6 months.

Ya, definitely. He could most likely get a 9600gt and he'd be fine.
