Hello there dear MMO-Champions!
I'm planning to buy a new graphics card soonish. But as I'm a complete idiot when it comes to "Does X work on computer Y" I'm in need of help from the masters.
I'm currently running with a nVidia GeForce 220GT which is crap afaik and it seems to be living it's last days. I get sudden freezes and low FPS occasionally when playing games like Fallout New Vegas, CoD MW2 and such. Even in WoW my FPS was better with my old computer.
I was thinking about a nVidia GeForce 250GTS but I'm unsure if it will work on my computer.

My budget is around 100-180€ so any suggestions of a better piece instead of the 250GTS are welcome aswell.
Providing a dxDiag of the system and GFX if it helps.
And according to Acer it has a 300W power supply. (Power supply is what worries me the most)
Any help/advice/suggestion are very very welcome!
Thanks in advance!
