I have a Antec Earthwatts 380w continuous power supply, what video card would best suit it? Also, i have a AMD Athlon 64 x2 4400 @ 2.2ghz , what is the best it can handle without bottlenecking it?|||Probably the best video card you can get with a 380W PSU is a HD4670 or a HD4870 (which could be pushing it).
Take a look at this power consumption chart:

Note that EVERY card on this list is under the 380W mark. Of course, you will probably want to have some headroom for further upgrading and such. So the HD4870 would probably be your best bet here. For Nvidia, a GTX260 would probably be sufficient.|||If you like AMD, I would suggest a ATI Radeon HD 4000 series. Possibly a 47xx and below will be good for you with that power supply.
Depending on what your motherboard supports may limit your options. If you have a PCI-e x16 slot on the mobo, you should be good.
If you only have AGP, I would suggest using that money to upgrade the board.|||You can try Sapphire Radeon HD 5770 1 GB DDR5 Dual DVI-I / HDMI / DP PCI-Express Graphics Card 100283L http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002RWJ…
