I'll suggest one when you use "oo" instead of "u" and phrase your questions as questions instead of demands.

If you are making a living off of animation you will probably need a professional card which will be somewhere in the range of $500-$2000. I don't understand why dell ships such crappy cards with their systems.. All specs of the card you use will depend on what programs you are using. Please give an example.

For that resolution and gaming we would be generally talking about something in the 4870/gtx260 or better and around 1gb versions at that. A work station card in that level would be about $1000.

for renderindering, ull need the best card you can get your hands on, but rendering cards cost an arm and a leg so no sub $100 but the best gaming card for sub $100 is hd4850 512, if you want 1gb then 4830 should fit you.

Gaming cards are good at playing games(ex:geforce).....
Rendering cards are good at making games and video editing etc etc(ex:quadro)....
