Eh, I tried to get 'Motherboard' and nothing came up, even Everest couldn't find out what it was :s

As for PSU, I don't know how to find it and google only tells my I have to open my computer, which I am not going to do.

You have to open your computer to put a new graphics card in anyways.

You could pick up a 9800 for probably $100 on newegg.

That may be your best bet.
Skateon is just a little bitch with rich parents. He knows nothing so don't bother listening to him.

I know that.

Can you take a picture of your computer with the side panel off?

Please no low-res/low-light shots though.

You should get a 10 year old video card made by a company that has been out of business for 9 years.

Everyone shouldn't post if they don't know what they are talking about.

Like the guy who suggested an 8400. I see no point in 'upgrading' to a card that was mid-ranged a few years ago.
If your budget really is $420, there will be some great deals you can get, we just need your mobo.
Currently ATi is best performance for money, although nVidia may be better quality in some cases. I personally have had 2 bad experiences with their drivers.

I'll recommend some cards once I know what it can take.

ATI 5850, roughly around $300 with DirectX 11.
