My graphics card recently went bust (melted), so I was in the market for a new one:

I found this: Powercolor Radeon 9600Pro EZ 256MB at ARIA PC.

Now I have a crap power supply (thanks Dell) and I was wondering if anyone knew if it needed a molex connector... I've been looking around, and I've seen mixed reviews.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

No it doesn't.

This card is as good as, is cheaper and has a TV tuner as well if you're interested 9800SE AIW

I had a 9800SE a few years back and if i remember right that used a floppy connector!

How things have changed now some cards use two PCI-E connections!

EDIT: that card you liked to is the one i used to have Flops. Wasn't a bad card at all.

Really? Oh poop, forget my recommendation above then

My 9800 Pro doesn't need any extra juice.

Does that SE need any extra 'juice'? =)

My Power supply is shocking.

I'm sure it did, i think....

Yep, just found this, http://shop.ati.com/product.asp?sku=2970123

RADEON® 9800 Series of products requires connection to your PC's internal power supply for operation. Consult your system builder or OEM to ensure your system has an adequate power supply. Otherwise, ATI recommends a 300-Watt power supply or greater to ensure normal system operation where a number of other internal devices are installed.

Heres a pic i just found in the depths of my harddrive....

I'm in the price range of anywhere around £50. Any bargains ideas. Bot nVidia and ATI welcome. =)

Well as well as an Graphics upgrade, I'm buying some new RAM (to make 1gb) 2.66 ghz P4 processor (not Dual). VGA monitor. 300W /350W power supply (not sure as the poswer supply says 170W which is impossible).

I'm running of integrated graphics at the moment =(
