A 4850 is the best for the price but I'm not to sure about that rosewill PSU I would get a new PSU if you could but it might hold you don't really have anything stressing your system. Make sure you have the necessary 6pin connector.
 
does your mobo have an AGP or PCI-E graphics card slot?
for AGP, the best you can get is an Ati 4850 (yes, they released an AGP version) but you will still need a 6-pin PCI-E power cable. for PCI-E i would recommend... an Ati 4870
your PSU may not be able to handle it though...

There is no way that PSU would handle a 4870 besides he asked for something for under a $100 so a 4870 out of the picture. He has a PCIe slot if you look up his motherboard it tells you.

Well if you notice in most newegg reviews most people have only used the product for about a week I wait to a month or two before I post a review. It being PCIe x16 2.0 has nothing to do with it working on a PSU.

The 4670 is a decent card but won't be great for gaming it can probably play most games on medium to medium high settings. COD4 and MW2 should be good on medium settings as for GTA4 the card can handle it on low or medium but I don't know how your CPU will hold up.

Gmod is not a very graphics demanding game the graphics look terrible on it but its an OK game. Newegg has some 2x1GB 800MHz RAM for $28 free shipping or 2x1GB 1066MHz for $36 free shipping. Let me know if you won't some links.

http://www.newegg.com/HelpInfo/CustomerService.aspx you can chat or call them. Its to long to tell them it's not what you wanted try telling them it won't power your system efficiently and you wont a refund so you can get something better. Computer prices drop not go up plus your birthday is in December and newegg always has a big sale around that time for Christmas so your will probably get most things cheaper.

They have in the past last year I built a quad core for $800 and this was an Intel so that was a really good deal. I probably spent $200 less then if the parts hadn't been on sale.
