Looking at power draw I'd say best bet is one of the AMD R7 240 or 250 models. They draw only 45/75w max
AMD still recommend a 400w psu for them.
I noticed that : Sapphire Radeon HD 5570 (1024 MB)

seems to be a power efficient card.

but it also recomends a 400w psu

obviously not as good as the one you suggested....am TRYING to upgrade the graphics without changing the psu. tbh I cant afford to upgrade both together.

I have a zotac GF 430 card, that could in theory work. However it has a double blankin plate and wont physically fit int he case. Has passive cooler which is huge and heavy....makes it difficult card to fix in place with single blanking plate.

Perhaps I should contact zotac and ask them?

(if i fit the zotac card inthe shuttle...will have to remove the dvd player[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] )
