Can someone help with a good video card for my computer? (currently in

Hey,

I've had this computer for quite a while, and the graphics capabilities have been really really annoying me. I can't really play any new games, and if I can, it runs poorly.

I've decided to try to get a graphics card. I'm currently integrated (NVIDIA GeForce 6150SE nForce 430).

I've had a look on PC Wizard and I'm PRETTY sure I can get a new video card. But I don't know what video card would work. These are my motherboard specs (please tell me if you need any more information, I don't want to clutter up this post so much)

I'm just wondering if anyone can provide me with links to video cards that are in the £70-100 range, that would work on my machine, and that would be able to run some new games on medium-high quality with good fps?


I had a look, and would you guys think that the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 550 Ti would work on my computer?
