Need a new Graphics Card

I recently started playing Star Wars the old republic, and in the instances where I don't have a very low FPS I have more fun than I've ever had on a game..
So I have a computer with an integrated Graphics card and I would like to upgrade hopefully to get rid of lag. I have a budget of up to $100 could be stretched if there is a good deal on one. I would like to save as much money as a can though because I have a lot of other things to buy. Any suggestions on one?


NEW QUESTION: It seems my power supply is 250W...I don't think that's enough for a good video card, so with a $170 budget what would be the best combination of power supply and Video/Graphic card?

I know nothing about graphics cards so I'm not sure how to tell compatibility..

All I know is this is the one I have now:

we are talking about a destop here? If so download cpu-z and see if it gives you a motherboard model number.
 
i thought i recognised it lol. Take the side off the computer and look for writing on the motherboard itself, i bet there's a model number somewhere and take a look at the PSU model number and its wattage. What i need to know is whether or not it has a pci-e slot.
 
Edit: Writing said CIH61m V:1.0 but I can't seem to find what you were looking for.

This is a PCI-E slot isn't it?

the big black slot does look like a pci-e slot, in fact im sure it is, how old it the computer? can you see pci-e written anywhere near the slot?

i think in that case it is safe to say it is a pci-e, so you can put a graphics card in there.
I goin out but i will b on in about 2 hours if you want more help
 
I'll be posting some stuff for sale tonight. I have a 9800gtx black edition for pretty cheap. Check the FS section a little later tonight.
 
We still need to know the power supply though, can you tell us what the model of the computer is? but if you bought this and it is like a dell or something, or really anything that wasn't built for you with good parts, then the power supply is almost guarenteed jusnk and will need to go even for a cheapy graphics card.
 
The small print says:
100-127v ~ /8A 50-60 Hz
200-240V ~ /4A 50-60 Hz

NEW QUESTION: If I have $170 budget for a power supply and video card what should I get?
