NEED HELP!!!! HP Pavilion p6714y New PSU & Graphics card questions

[IloveU]

I want to upgrade my PC for games like HomeFront and the Battlefield series. I currently have a Nvidia GeForce 6150SE integrated and a 250 Watt PSU.....what would be my best bet for replacing these? I have about $300-400 I can spend. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks!

PSU: any Corsair 450W or an OCZ MOdXstream Pro 500-600W should be in the below $100.00 range (Newegg.com)

Video Card PCIe-x16

Radeon HD5770 or HD5750 , both are directX 11.0 spec and can play virtually any game currently on the market.

NVIDIA  GeForce 9600GT 

Best regards,

Hi,

Review the ATI and NVIDIA performance specifications. Look at the memory bandwidth specifications and the DirectX level support.

I went with the 

 OCZ MOdXstream Pro 600 Watt

and Radeon HD5770 card. Thanks for the help and suggestions.

Hello, IloveU, I know this is an old thread but I have the exact same model of PC as you, and I was interested in how the OCZ Modxstream and the Radeon HD5770 are working out for you. Would you recommend these, now that you've been using them? Thanks!
