Ok...my mom's card just died and I would like top replace it without having to upgrade the PSU also.(400w) She has a Radeon 4850 ( which I dont think they make anymore ?) Any ideas would be very helpful. I just need a newer card that can be used with her psu.

She is 82 and all she does is play WoW ...lol.
 
A 4850 is actually fairly power hungry for what it is compared to many modern cards. Power shouldn't really be an issue getting a new card.

If she plays WoW, know that Nvidia cards always have, and still do, perform better at WoW than AMD cards do. Even if two cards are neck and neck in most other games, the nvidia card will have a 5-10fps advantage in WoW.

IMO go for something like a Geforce 650, or maybe a 660 if your budget allows.

GTX 650 is all she needs and it will easily run on a 400W. Oh, that's pretty awesome about her playing WoW at 82!
 
Went to fry's and picked up a 7750 this am...thanks for the replies you all. She is back playing her night elf hunter, my phone is not ringing off the hook..and everything is right with the world :) For another day....thank you WoW for keeping my ma busy all day...:):)
