I would think even a 4770 would be pushing it. I guess you're not considering upgrading the PSU any?

That's an Antec Earthwatts 380watt.
You can support up to an HD4850 or GTS250 or HD5770

These guys are right, it would be pushing it. I would get this PSU and this GPU, unless you want ATi, in that case, get this.
I have used that PSU in a clone of my current computer minus the 9600 GSO, and it powers everything very well. Even does good on pulling air out of the case, a very good budget PSU IMHO.
EDIT: I didn't know it was an Antec Earthwatt's PSU, they are really dang efficient and could easily power all of the video cards mentioned.

Hey dudes, listen to tater tot. He knows his stuff. And I personally would have no qualms about running any of the cards he listed with an Earthwatts 380.

These newer ones are running Earthwatts.
Antec says so.

For the difference in price/size/tdp/power HD5770 seems like a winner to me.
