Hey I doubt you'll be able to get a better card for that price to even see a slight improvement. I'd suggest you save up more money to buy GTS 450 or 550 Ti..

Your 300W PSU is a tier 4 which is not recommend for use and If you upgrade your graphic card then you need a better PSU.

With the i3 CPU you could get a 6750 or a 6850 with a 450w PSU. You also might think about better ram or just faster like a 1600mhz.

Here is a link to PSU's from the best to the worst. If I get time I will look for links to newegg for the psu and gpu. Good luck

edit Don't get a GTX 550Ti it is the worst of the Nvidia 5 series cost to much for what it can give.
