    Best GPU to run on 400w PSU?

    Looking to upgrade my very old and run down ATI Radeon HD 5450(The fan on it is on it's last legs.) I don't want to have to spend extra upgrading my PSU. Just looking for a decent card that will run World of Warcraft. Any help would be grand. Thanks!

    You could run pretty much any card on a 400w psu, it really depends on your budget more than anything.

    Id go with this card:

    Seems like a few are receiving DOA cards but i wouldnt pay much bother to that, ive been ordering parts from newegg for 15 years and never had a faulty part. And 140 for a gtx 660 with a 1 year warranty is a pretty good deal.

    If you dont wanna run the risk of getting a doa card this is the next card id suggest:

    A bit faster than a gtx 660.

    What brand PSU do you have?

    a 660 will definitely run WoW fine (considering I have one and run just about everything on ultra) however... what CPU do you have?
