My PC fails... why???

[Rippy888]

I have what I thought was a pretty nice Gaming and Performance PC, but apparently not? I'm scoring about a 1300~~~ or so on the FFXIV Benchmark... I cleaned up my PC and made sure I had all new updates and ***... The score hasn't budged much. I can't run the benchmark on high becuase it doesn't fit but on low I score around 1,327 or so.... here is my PC...

I have a CG5270 ASUSTeK Computer.

Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q8300 @ 2.50GHz (4 CPUs), ~2.5GHz

Memory: 8 Total GB of ram

Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GT 220 w/ Integrated RAMDAC
Approx. Total Memory: 4058 MB
Current Display Mode: 1600 x 900 (32 bit) (60hz)

I don't know much about hardware... but those are my specs..

Well could you guys maybe recommend me one? Brand? The game comes out September 22nd.. Which is when I will start.... Should I wait for maybe a even newer card to come out before then? Or just go ahead and see about buying a new one??? Thanks ~~~~

HD5770 if your PSU (power supply) can handle it. What is the size of the PSU?

This is my power supply:

Input : 110 - 120v ~/ 9.0A, 220 - 240v ~/ 4.5A 50-60Hz
Continue Power 400w

If it is this one http://www.yang-it.de/ps_GPS-400BB-A.htm then it probably would run a HD5770 but nothing more powerful.
