Hi

If you are saying the computer you bought has an 8400 gs...You are NOT going to be playing ANY modern game on anything but low...and some wont play at all with that card...

If you are going to replace it.... to play on high/ultra you are going to have to spend a LOT more than $150 on the card alone..

All the best Brett

A Radeon 7770 should get you around the performance you want for anything better the CPU will hold you back.

You're going to have to spend more than $150, but NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460M should be ok for you.

nvidia gtx 460, gtx 560 ti, radeon hd 7770, radeon 7670 .....
All these can fulfill your requirement.......
Best of luck..!!
