Say I were to buy a computer like the one below. What videocard would you recommend for upgrade? The power supply is 300W, so that may have to be upgraded as well. Please note the Expansion Slot limitations below. I would like the total price for videocard and possible power supply upgrade to be less than $200 (but prefer closer to $100). I am not interested in playing first-person shooters like Crysis. I generally want to play adventure, simulation, racing, etc. that were released in the last five years.
