				Hey guys, I'm really want to buy a new graphic card and I font know what I want. I want something that can run all the high res. stuff and between the range of 100-200$ price range. I have a 4350 ATI radeon HD and I can't find my power supply level so I can't find out if I can run a better card. :airplane:
			
-

- 
				It says 200-240v

 Actually you have a HP Pavilion 9220.  According to this you have a 300W power supply which will require to be replace in order to run any type of video card upgrade (in a nut shell).
 
 I just purchased a Nvidia GTS 450 for about $130.  Considered a mid-range card.  Requires a 400W power supply.  So figure in you'll need to spend at least $50-$60 on a decent quality power supply in addition to whatever your video card purchase is.  Never, ever buy a cheap power supply.  It feeds power to your entire system and if it fails, it can take the whole computer with it.
- 
				best your gonna run on that card is the ATI 5770 or the Nvidia GT 240 they are both low power cards

 I was looking at the radeon 5770 for about 220$ so u think I should buy it?

 Can I buy one at best buy? I'm going there to have them put it in

 Yeah, so a 5770 is about $170 at Best Buy, a power supply is about $60-$90 at Best Buy, plus $30-$50 or more for Best Buy to put it all in for you.
 
 You'll have to get a new power supply because if you don't, your computer will probably shut down on you when you start gaming.
