Good video card that can be used with a 240w power supply?

I need a good video card that can be used with a 240w power supply (pci express x16)

Also whats a good but affordable lga 775 cpu?|||Well, there are some low profile Nvidia 210 video cards, they are low end and low power, but better than built-in video chips.

You are severely limited by your power supply. I've run a Geforce 210 in a small machine with a 275W supply.

The 210 only takes about 10-20 Watts of power...

A 220 takes a bit over 20W...

An ATI 4550 may be an alternative, if there is a low profile one out there... (here:)

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as… But, it requires a 300W supply, more than you have - but then, the card does not use much power... However even the 210, which uses 11W of power recommends a 300W supply, which you do not need...

You CANNOT run an 8400 or a 5450, you do not have the power for them.|||There are no good graphics cards that can be used with such a weak power supply. Any cards that it will run will be useless, you should replace your power supply so that you're free to choose whatever graphics card you like.



A good but affordable LGA775 processor is the Core2Quad Q6600. There are better Core2Quad processors as well as the Core2Quad Extreme but you'll get the Q6600 quite cheaply and it's just as good as a Phenom II X4



Edit: I did wonder if it was a small form factor machine. If that was mine then I'd add a full sized case to my shopping list and transfer the parts into it, then I could use a normal PSU and a good graphics card.|||LOL

Maybe 10+ years ago they used that little but now a minimum or 500w is need
