Hey guys. I need to find a replacement for my 9800gt 512mb video card in my desktop because it has failed. I do not have much knowledge of the new video cards available today. I would like to find a video card that is equivalent to the 9800 gt. It would be nice if it could handle most games (e.g., Guild Wars, Call of Duty, Skyrim, etc.) at medium settings. The main use of this computer is photo editing with photoshop though.
Here are the exact specifications of my desktop:
http://reviews.cnet.com/desktops/gatewa ... tml?tag=mncol;subnavI've been looking at the Nvidia Geforce GTS 450 1GB video card but I am worried that it will use to much power as this desktop only has a 400w power supply. I'm willing to upgrade to a 550-600w power supply for $30-50 as that is what I have found some going for. Maybe this video card is more powerful than what I need it for.
A single slot video card is a must I think because there is not a whole lot of space to put a big 2 slot video card in it.
Here are some I found but not sure if it is a good replacement:

Thanks
