Most of these graphics cards don't use extra power. Just make sure before you buy.

This is my opinion, it doesn't mean I'm right and is liable to change at any time. I may offend of which I apologize in advance.

My 6570 would be great for a HTPC. Uses 65 watts, tops, I think. All PCI-E power.

U can get 7770 for such a great price if u can buy a budget psu like corsair builder series....cx500 or cx600,, but as u asked...go for Asus 6670 or 7750....

and there is a 2gb ddr3 version also but i would say go for 1 gb ddr5 as it has higher memory clock so u will be getting more fps as compared to ddr3 versions..

Here's the link...

All pci-e power is 75W mate... :) still 10W remaining for HTPC...

Hmm. Didn't know that. I didn't mean it took all the PCI-E power though. :P

I would REALLY recommend a better PSU, but if you can't do that, get a 7750, or if you can find one, a 7770.

you should pick up a Radeon 7770, it a pretty powerful card for its size, requires no external power, and can play most games at medium-high at 1080p.

What CPU do you have? Do you even need a GPU? Are you just playing movies? 

You guys are crazy. You know you guys are self-destructive. There's a funny farm somewhere and it's got your names written all over it. But I'm gettin' outta here.
