So I have about 75 dollars to spend on a new graphics card. My computer specs suck, I know. I can't be bothered to upgrade considering I don't have the money and I need to get off this integrated graphics bullshit.

HD 4850's are pretty cheap (not sure if its within your range due to exchange rates etc)

Those things are power hogs though, so I doubt a 300 watt will suffice.

i have a 300w power supply and recently needed to upgrade my graphics card too. i ended up getting a 9800 gt which works very nicely. 300w is quite low tbh and it limits the graphics cards you can stick in your box. the one i bought was £100, dual-dvi and 1gb memory. it rates 6.8 + 6.8 on the graphics related windows ratings. not too bad for a 2-ish year old graphics card.
i THINK for less money.. you might be able to get a slightly lower powered version of the 9800. but if not you can just keep stepping back models till you find one within your price range.

Unless you have like below 65w cpu, i highly doubt you going to run 9800gt with a standard 300w. Maybe GTS 250, or 9800gt EE edition. a standard dual slot 9800gt? doubtful
