How to upgrade my Dell XPS 420?

[Platoon_Michael]

Hello,
I would like to upgrade my graphics card for the Dell XPS 420 and have no idea what to get.
And just seem to become more confused everyday.

Specs are:
Vista Home Premium Service Pack 2
Processor:Intel Core2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40Ghz 2.39Ghz

Memory:4.00GB

System Type 32-bit

Graphics Card:
ATI Radeon HD 2400 PRO

And my Monitor is a Dell 2407WFP(Digital) LCD

I figure I have maybe at the most $300 to spend.
The game I like the most to play so far is Company of heros and I want to be able to play that at the highest settings.

Thank-You very much in advance for any time and help you can provide.

There's no need to spend $300

Yes, nice choice, delluser1...
But what about his PSU? He's not mentioned about his psu...

But what about his PSU? He's not mentioned about his psu...

The machine comes with either a 375 watt (1x6 pin) or 425 watt (2x6 pin) psu, either of which can handle a 5770, it's power use is lower than the cards that were originally offered in the 420.

I looked at it and hopefully santa will provide me with it this year.
Thank-You for the help and I'll open the case and check on the psu before purchasing.
