AMD's Radeon HD 7750 is a phenomenal card that doesn't require a power connector. It's so power efficient that it only needs to draw power from the PCIe connector. They'd be able to play most older games on high settings and newer games like BF3 and Crysis 2 on medium settings at 1080p.

Sapphire's overclocked model: $105 - http://www.newegg.co...N82E16814102985

Sapphire's basic model: $99 - http://www.newegg.co...N82E16814102969

XFX's single-slot variant (only get this if you need a single-clot card): $120 - http://www.newegg.co...N82E16814150612

wtf is lolcats?

I'd def get a fat hooker if i had to resort to that kinda thing. I feel like they'd be grateful and work harder. Also its more bang for my buck, more real estate for my dollar if you catch my drift. its like the Costco of streetwalkers.

I was hoping for 150 :(.

I was hoping she would let me put it in her butt

so i am looking at the overclocked model not the basic cause basic = same price after shipping

and maybe the single slot

edit also he was looking himself and found this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102988

i was thinking of getting him this and a http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817182022

so he can upgrade later on

Why would you need a 5.25" power supply?

And I'd definitely grab the 7750 over the 6670. The 7750 is a much better performer and it'll handle games at 1080p. The 6670 is a far weaker card and will struggle at 1080p in most games.

alright thx for the tid bit and i think its cause of the bay size idk atleast that is what i am getting but a few things happened a bit ago in the behind scenes just so you guys know i talked him in to upgrading his ram and psu so he will have the minimum required and he will wait a bit with the graphics card until he has a descent amount saved up
