Hello, I'm looking to upgrade my graphics card from a crappy integrated ATI Radeon HD 4200. I was wondering what graphics card I could buy for a relatively low price, ($50-$100) to be able to play say bf3 and skyrim on high settings. I was looking at this card on new egg;

People were giving it pretty good reviews and saying it doesn't need an additional power supply because it draws power from the gpu. I was wondering if that were true considering i only have a 250w psu, and I don't really want to upgrade my existing psu. Also if anyone could tell me if it is compatible with my system or if any other cards you guys suggest are, thanks.
System Summary:
AMD Phenom II x4 840t 2.6ghz ; currently uses 71.40 watts
8 gigabytes of DDR3 ram
FOXCONN 2AB1, chipset ; AMD 785g
1 TB HDD
PCI-E x16 2.0
Please let me know what other information is needed as well thanks.
