What kind of "improvement" are you looking for over the
video you already had? As GT mentioned, there's nothing
particularly demanding about TV-Out, nor your described
tasks, so we'd need to know where the current video is
falling short. Your present PSU could indeed be a
limitation, if you were just itching to replace something
that might be a good area to focus on.
