Need Help with upgrading video card?

i have a HP s3682d slimline pavillion desktop,

Intel pentium dual core processor E2200

1GB DDR2 > upgraded to 3GB

Nvidia GeForce 7100/ nforce 630i

160GB HDD.

with this i can only play call of duty 4 at moderate graphics and the desktop is quite small, so can anyone think of a compatible better geforce card (preferbelly a 512mb vid card) that fits my computer and the power??|||One problem is that you will need to get a new power supply, since the current one is only 160 watts, and a video card will put you over that.



For the power supply, this will work: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as…



Now for the video card, you mentioned GeForce, which implies Nvidia. However, I'm gonna suggest an ATi Radeon card:

But if you want Nvidia, this card will also work great:

If it's a low-profile card you need, I suggest this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as…|||radio shack has all u need|||I think you'd first need to upgrade the power supply before getting the video card. Your PC has only 160W power supply which is not sufficient to power up the higher end video cards that you prefer. I have no idea about the form factor of your power supply because it looks like a proprietary one. I would suggest get upgrade from HP spare parts which has at least 350w and then when you've done so I would suggest this video card from Jaton.
