Hmm, I don't really know anything about video cards. I use a GTX GeForce 460.

Well the computer I have is basic, but for a good card you need more power, and I don't need nothing that powerful just for movies.

I figure I can talk on forums, and watch video while doing it, or working on something else.

What is the watt rating on your power supply? If it's 400W or more, then it's fine.

Sadly 300 watts, but looking at this http://www.amazon.com/XFX-ATX-550-Power-Supply/dp/B004RJ8EKI/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1353986059&sr=1-2-fkmr0&keywords=XFX+Core+Edition+PRO550W+%28P1-550S-XXB9%29+550W+ATX12V+2.2+%26+ESP12V+2.91+SLI+Ready+CrossFire+Ready+80+PLUS+BRONZE+Certified+Active+PFC+Power+Supply">http://www.amazon.com/XFX-ATX-550-Power ... wer+Supply">http://www.amazon.com/XFX-ATX-550-Power-Supply/dp/B004RJ8EKI/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1353986059&sr=1-2-fkmr0&keywords=XFX+Core+Edition+PRO550W+%28P1-550S-XXB9%29+550W+ATX12V+2.2+%26+ESP12V+2.91+SLI+Ready+CrossFire+Ready+80+PLUS+BRONZE+Certified+Active+PFC+Power+Supply

Another bad thing is I have a computer with integrated parts, my card is part of other stuff.

My motherboard have a integrated graphics card. I bought a card, plugged it in, installed the drivers, and it works. If you get a new power supply you'll need to unplug all the cables. There's cables that go from the power supply to the hardrive, dvd drive, graphics cards, and on the motherboard for the CPU.

Well finding the right things that will fit is what I need, and if I want what I need it will have to have a good power supply right.
