Is this card any good/decent? Its the only card I could find that works with my 300W power supply, and no way am i upgrading that too. My current card is ATI Radeon Express 200 so i guess anything beats it. Also i found this one:

I'll assume you know these will work with your PSU.
eVGA has a decent rep, but notice the fan - it might keep the board cooler, but probably draws a little more power than the Sparkle.
Sparkle is SLI-certified, which is probably not as issue with you.
I would check the 7300GT if I were you. I'm not certain about the power requirements, but it is quite a bit faster than the 7300GS and you can get them from pricegrabber for about the same cost. I *guess* that the power requirements are identical with 7300GS.
P.S. I did a little research. eVGA recommends 250W PSU with an 18A 12V line for 7300GS, and a 350W PSU with an 18A 12V line for 7300GT. This almost certainly means that they use the same power, and the 350W was recommended only because newer systems when that board came out required more power.
SO, the 7300GT should work just as well as the 7300GS - assuming you have that 18A 12V line. 7300GT about 70% faster.
Also, check prices on pricegrabber - $63 for the sparkle 7300GS, $75 for the XFX 7300GT.

I agree get a 8600GT, for a bit more. And upgrade the PSU to a 600w for $30 from tiger after rebates.

Get the EVGA one. EVGA rocks!
And you should upgrade your power supply. You don't always get the full amount of watts out of a power supply.

it's decent. It all depends on what you will run with it. Your cpu will most likely be your bottleneck. Check www.firingsquad.com for benchmarks of the card running games.

I suggest an 8600GT, it is not much more money and is DirectX10 compatible.
