Assuming this is your PC:

From this article:

an HD 5670 would be a big improvement. It does not require an additional power connector, and its power use seems clsoe enough to the X300 that it will likely work with your current power supply. If not, you would be faced with an additional expense of around $40 to replace the psu.

From Newegg, a Gigabyte 5670 for $70, $7 shipping, and a $10 mail-in rebate:
