First of all, this is the PC that I will be upgrading. http://tinyurl.com/2pjxyy
Every thing seems to run fine and im satisfied with the computer, but i definately want a new graphics card.
i was thinking about buying this card. http://tinyurl.com/yqdkb9

so i guess my first question is hows the card? ive heard from some of my friends that it performs perfectly with World of Warcraft, which i will mostly be using it for, but will it run more graphics intensive games as well?
Also, this will be the first time installing my own upgrade, so im a little fuzzy on the whole integrated graphics thing. Im pretty sure my PC has an integrated card but not completely sure. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
 
You'll need to find out if it has an AGP, PCI-E, or no graphics card slot.
To do this, open the case and have a look at the slots.

AGP is usually brown, and offset from the other white PCI slots
PCI-E 16X is usually white, and longer than the other white PCI slots

If it has PCI-E, I would recommend a 7600 GT. they are cheap, and perform very well.

that was another card that i was considering, but i haven't been able to find much info about the power supply that it needs. i have 300W and if possible would not like to upgrade it.
