I know I posted something similar to this before, but I didn't explain everything correctly and I would not consider this a repost. First off, I have a super crappy computer and I really want to play a few games (It does not matter if it on lowest detail). Here are some of my specs.

CPU: AMD Athlon(tm) II X2 215 Processor 2.70 GHz
Ram: 4.00 GB memory
Current Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce 6150SE nforce 430
MOBO Graphics card socket: PCI express 1.0 x16
PSU: 250 watts

I have literally been non stop searching, looking at reviews, but I can never determine if its what I need. Can somebody please tell me a good low end graphics card (that my pc can support), Something that can handle TF2, or a few other steam games. I am saving up for a gaming pc, but I want to do it right. Its going to take me a while to save that much money so I just want something right now to play games with.

Thanks for helping, but this card requires a 400 watt PSU . I don`t really have a price range, I just need something that gives me a bang for my buck.

If you took a multimeter and actually plugged it in with a build with your current specifications + a very low end 6670 that only uses 75w at max due to the PCIE 16 X slot, you'd realize it'd be fine even though it'd doubtful your cheapo PSU outputs 250w.

I`m not sure what you are saying. Are you saying It might would work because the PCIe slot limits the graphics card to 75 watts, and as long as the rest of my parts are using no more than 175 watts everything would be fine?
