Is this a custom build or a store bought pc? If its store bought just give us the model number of the pc. If its custom built we need the model of motherboard.
Are you talking about speccy? Open it up, when it gets done analyzing your pc then click on file, save as text file. Save the file and then copy and paste the contents back here. Only copy the motherboard section of it.

Ok, the problem here is that at its a dell and you don't have a good power supply, so you would need to upgrade that before inserting a new video card. What kind of games do you want to play?
Looking around $160. But at least getting the 5770 allows you to play some more demanding games if you want to in the future. Does it look like you got enough room in the case for decent sized video card?
