All we need to know is how much RAM What CPU and how many Watts on PSU... Open the case and you see the Watts on the side of the PSU or take it out and look around it for Watts and as for CPU and RAM, open up CPU-Z a free software...
This is What i think you have:
AMD Phenom II x4
4GB RAM
500Watts PSU
These are just guess as im not sure if it is...

EDIT: This card fits your needs if you got a 500 Watts or more!!!

This is the BEAST version of the 550Ti(Means it's 1GHz or faster) You can OC higher for superior performance...

kk thxz i found the power supply and it doesnt say much about watts it only mentions it once "Total max output 480W" im guessing the W stands for watts, and yeh Br0 you was right i have a AMD Phenom II x4 965,

As for memory.

DDR3 4096 - so 4Gigx of RAM i think?

Is what cpu-z says anyway
