Here is my current setup:
250w PSU(dont know the brand or model)
Foxconn N-Alvorix-RS880-uATX
AMD athlon ii i4 640
integrated ati radeon hd 42001 TB HDD6GB RAM

Im only 14 and we only have 1 computer in the house so i dont want to put all my money into this and then have to build a new one when i leave home. But i would like a better graphics card that is compatible with all the parts i already have.My budget is... $150?


EDIT:

heres the plan

antext earthwatts 500w PSU for $60
radeon HD 6850 which is $150 i believe

Can you guys tell me if this is compatible with my current setup?
 
Okay how about $250 for a PSU and GPU compatible with those parts?

I just dont really want to put a lot of money into it since im not working yet and i wont be keeping this computer once i leave home.

What are you opinions on this combo?
PSU
GPU
 
See the updated OP. I cant find any information on my mobo so i figure its time for an update. Unless you can find something? By looking at it all i found was 686 Amibios YM96 3742 and AOS-C620887-001

Edit: NVM i just remembered i would also have to buy windows 7... I guess i just have to hope the parts are compatible

Edit 2: Found my mobo. its a Foxconn N-Alvorix-RS880-uATX

Thouhts on the GTX275? It only cost $70 and its number 22 on the graphics performance list.
 
@ Nano511, please don't double post, if you have something else to add to the conversation and no one has posted a reply since your last post (within a 24 hr. period), please use the edit button (looks like a pencil) to add it to your previous post.
 
Are you sure? Because the motherboard site i linked says "One PCI Express x1 minicard slot" and the card is 10.5" long. If im correct in where the card goes, it doesnt look like it would fit.
