I don't want a geforce 8 series. I don't play any games that would require that kind of power. Just looking for an upgrade to my not-so-great integrated graphics.

if u want the truly the best upgrade for ur money get the Geforce 7600 GT 256 MB by eVGA or XFX, my friend runs it at 250 psu and i run at 300 psu, i can play CS S all high settings with 100 fps, unless its a huge battle and can run BF2 in mid settings.. and i only have 512 ram with a slighty better Cpu then yours.
@Gervil : GT is way way better than GS.. are u joking me? Gs not worth the money

For around $100 an ati HD2600 is a good choice. But your power supply is extremely weak. I would recommend spending more money on a power supply and a better video card 8800gt($200), 8800gts512mb(350). I don't know if your dell case will fit a standard power supply.

Holy bleep. Wow. It relies upon on decide on you desire to game. in simple terms positioned, your terrific decision of action would be to get a sparkling pc fullyyt. the entire single-center section could finally end up proscribing your gaming. in case you pick suggestions, sure, i'd improve to 4 GB of RAM, and in line with threat the ATI Radeon 4870 or nVidia GTX 260. The ATI and nVidia are astonishing video enjoying cards going for a sprint over $a hundred precise now, and could play maximum video games at severe settings (wit hthe exception of others such as Crysis). I an reluctant to propose something extra effective for concern the CPU will bottleneck (decelerate) the equipment. this is the max, to be risk-free.
