You'd be better off bumping your price range up a bit to get a worth while upgrade. If you could afford it something like a R7 260X would be good http://www.amazon.com/Sapphire-Version-PCI-Express-Graphics-11222-06-20G/dp/B00HJOKCZI/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1395789597&sr=8-3&keywords=R7
It should be able to run most games on high at least.
Could I just ask what the wattage of your power supply is? As this will affect whether or not you can use this graphics card without upgrading the PSU.

A 350w psu is nowhere near enough, you'll need a 500w or 550w for either of those cards. The 750ti is an alternative although I personally dislike the 750ti.
gotchya gotchya, like i said im learning lol. i was lookin around and found this power supply. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0092ML0MY/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=13SXWX6WH5245&coliid=I1HK64RVU5D0PD&psc=1
would that be good enough? and how do i know if it will fit and hook up correctly?

Yes, that psu is a good reliable one. Go for that and either a R9 270X, 750Ti (which is worse performance wise) or a 760. I would choose either the first or last if you can afford it

And as for hooking it up correctly it's relatively simple, if there needs too be a cable there then find it on the power supply and plug it in. It also helps to remember how it was wired before.

No problem, sorry, I mean the R7 260X not the R9 270X. Don't forget to choose a solution to help others
