Help Choosing a PSU and Graphics Card

[Hostile99]

So my psu in my Desktop burnt out, and im now using a laptop to post this. The thing is my old psu blows, it was only like 120 watts or something. I have a slim case, so i think my limits are like 300 watts right? I also want to get a new graphics card, because i've been using the integrated one, so it'd have to be low profile ready. Anyone know of a good psu and card i could get?

I have
One (1) PCI Express x16 slot

Certainly a 700w would be complete overkill for a 5570 so a better alternative would be

but if you were looking for a better GFX card than that, the 6850 would suffice

A lot of people will start nagging on you to get a coolermaster just because it's the trusty "brand name" but to be completely honest, that' should be a small factor in your decesion. Go through a couple pages of reviews thoroughly reading them, then from there you can futher review the hardware on google if needed to make your final decision.

ok thanks so much, and those psu's would fit into my slim case?

Gat clearly missed the low profile stipulation, and as such none of his suggestions would work for either power supplies or graphics cards. As far as a power supply goes, you would need something like this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817104075

And for a video card your options are very limited since you need a low profile card, which would be something like this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814102874

That is the best video you are going to get for a slim case. I'm running the normal version of the card and I get 30+ fps on ultra.

We need to know what case you have to know if it uses a micro ATX PSU or another standard of PSU.

Antec Truepower New 750w and a 6870 imo, then you can xfire in future

The FSP PSU I linked would be a better buy, it's a higher quality PSU. This is assuming, though, that the OP's case accepts micro atx.

@Vietnamese - OP has a slim, or rather low profile desktop, your 'solutions' wouldn't work. On a side note, you can easily crossfire 6870's on a 600 watt PSU.

I can strongly recommend that you take a look at the ATI Radeon HD 5750 1gb, it might fit in your case since its quite a small powerful graphics card
