Yeah sorry bout the lack of info, im not a seious gamer, i play some flight sims games thats about it. I do alot of vid editing though . Heres my system as it stands now:

Cooler Master HAF 922 Case

 

Asus P6x58d Premium Motherboard

 

Intel Core i7 975 Extreme Processor (OCed @ 4GHZ)

 

4 Crucial 1GB DDR3 1066 (PC3 8500) Memory (OCed @ 1600 MHZ)

 

Sapphire 100274HDMI ATI Radeon HD 4350 1GB 64-bit DDR2 video card

 

Seagate Barricuda 500G Harddrive X2 (Data storage and Temp Working)

 

Western Digital 320G Harddrive (Dedicated Pagefile)

 

Western Digital Velociraptor 300G Harddrive (OS)

 

2 Sony Optiarc DVD drives (one with Lightscribe)

 

Sabrent memory card reader

 

Corsair TX850w Powersupply

 

Thermaltake Frio CPU cooler w/2 120mm fans

 

200mm front intake fan

 

200mm top exhaust fan

 

2X 120mm 2000 rpm side intake fans

 

120mm 2000 rpm rear exhaust fan

 

120mm 3000 rpm bottom intake fan

 

120mm 1500 rpm HD cage fan

 

40 cfm Foxcon PCI slot exhaust fan

 

And im running a CRT and windows XP32 bit Pro

For the most part the card i presently have suited my purpose except i lost my HDMI output for my TV (sony LCD) so i was looking to upgrade

It is imperative that i have both dsub out and Hdmi, and i realize that i can use adapters but the space in my desk does not really allow me the room for them, my Pc case is already hanging forward off the shelf, and i have relocated the front feet back as far as possible to keep them on the shelf

Before getting a new gpu, get a new screen! For your needs the GTX 550 should be more than enough. If I'm not mistaken it uses less power than the 450, so you'll save some money there. What programs are you using for vid editing?
