Graphic Cardquestion

[Jhill08]

Using a compaq sr1711nx, mobo specs here Motherboard Specifications, A8AE-LE (AmberineM)*

Only upgrade I've done is upping to 1.56GB ram.
Looking now to upgrade my gfx card.
I see it says one PCIe (pci express) slot is available.

Recommend me one (looking at about $100 budget give or take a few)

Main thing I am looking for is increased FPS in World of Warcraft. The integrated card is only giving me around 13 on the lowest setting (pathetic I know) so an upgrade is definatly in need, all help appreciated!

Also power supply max is 300w

I second the hd 4670.

EDIT Reading your post, no you would need to upgrade your power supply to power any of these cards. Get an hd 4670 and a cheap power supply with a better wattage.

That will drop right into your system as is (other than drivers, of course).

Toss in a few extra on top of the $100 and spring for this RAM, $53 plus shipping. The extra RAM will do you almost as much good as the GFX card.

I wouldn't get that....

His PSU is pretty weak looking at the Compaq site..

Newegg.com - HD 4670

When you are looking at a rig with a bad PSU without upgrading it, the HD 4670 is the best to go, plus its almost as fast as the 9600GT
