No GPU? And i suggest to buy a new PSU if it's very old... you can buy a decent 450 W PSU for less than 50$

Does gaming not matter to you?

Either way the 6670 is extremely outdated and overpriced.

Perhaps consider the 7770 for $50 more and double the performance.

I would recommend the 7870, though, since it's just ridiculously superior.
