i only hav a 250 watt psu..i am running win xp sp3. i also hav to buy a cpu most probably an amd 5200+
that PSU is not enough to run any good gfx card and why do you want to upgrade to a amd 5200+ cpu - which is very old one unless you have a very old mobo.
For PSU and GPU - get a HD5670 512MB @ 3.8k and a FSP Saga II 500W @ 2.2k
what CPU+mobo+ram do you have right now - it would be better if you can upgrade those as well.

Yeah ! he is right. upgrade your PSU as any good gfx card needs stable power.

Yes, you need to replace that PSU. For something under 3000, try FSP Saga II 500W for 2.5k as topgear suggested...

uou can get a AMD Athlon II X2 250 @ ~2.8k - it's much more faster than a 5200+ but let us know your budget for the cpu first.
Best wishes for your A1 in maths and scienece
you'll get a new heatsink+fan with the new cpu - so don't worry about that

ARUN SUNNY, your motherboard is a AM2+ motherboard and will support all the AM3 processors. Current standard is Athlon II and Phenom II which are called AM3 CPU and they are supported in AM2+ motherboards. 5200 is older gen Athlon processor and Athlon II X2 250 will offer far better performance than that.
I think your total upgrade path will be like
AMD Athlon II 260 3.2 GHz + Sapphire HD 5670 512 MB GDDR5 + FSP SAGA II 500W
= (3 + 3.8 + 2)K = 6.8K. This config will allow you to play all the current games in lower or medium settings. BTW, at what resolution you're playing games?
