So, I was asked recently by my sister for some advice regarding upgrading her PC. She got an HP Pavilion with integrated graphics, but, as she got diablo III recently, has found that it woefully underperforms.

Obviously this does not come as a shock to me.
Without upgrading her PSU (all glorious 250 Watts of it) what's the best that she could do? There's plenty of cards that I would recommend to her, but they'd all require upgrading her PSU, which may be beyond her level of expertise, and I'm not able to be there to walk her through it. Price doesn't really appear to be an issue, though, given that all the best (read, expensive) cards have high power draws, it's kinda a moot point.
I'm personally more inclined to go the nvidia route than radeon, just out of personal preference.
Ideas?
