I need a new video card

I'm in the same boat. I want top upgrade my GFX card so that I can play IL-2 1946 maxed out and be ready for Battle of Britain SOW and play FSX. Apart from that I am not into FPS games and those sims I just mentioned are going to last me a long time, it's not like the flight sim market is chucking out new games with new graphics every 6 months like FPS games.

Oh and I only have a 300W PSU this will have to be uprated of course but to what rating?

Man, it doesn't matter what slow card you buy, 300 Watts won't cut it anymore. Think 450 to 500 min.
