I have an old CPU that I bought over 4 years ago and I'm not sure which graphics card I should get to be able to play games that require pixelshader 3.0 or higher, since my current GPU causes a shader error. I have a pretty tight budget of about $100 so I can't afford a new PC or an expensive GPU. I'm not sure what kind of GPU slots I have though, but I think I can find out if needed. My monitor has a 1680x1050 display and can use HDMI, DVI, and VGA.

CPU specs (from CPU-Z):
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 @ 2.40GHz (Kentsfield)
Gateway model G33M05G1
CPU
Mainboard
Memory

GPU specs (from Techpowerup):
Intel G33 express chipset family

I was thinking of getting an ATI Radeon HD 6670 or 5570 if it was compatible but I'm open to other options (preferably available in retail stores like Bestbuy).

The 6670 will do well. The 7750 would be even better.
What is your PSU?
