Well that graphics card isn't that good...what are you plan on playing?

I would recommend you something like the HD 4850/4830 or the GTX 250

It's a little more than I want to pay but I can do it.

Yeah nice card my next door neighbour has a Asus 4850 512mb card and it is kicks my Nivida 8800gts ass. Get it nice card can play any game out at the moment.
well depending if its the G92 8800GTS 512MB it should be exactly even with the 4850
if its not then then the 4850 will smoke it

The only issue I have with the 4850 that the OP posted as a choice is that heatsink. It doesn't look like it'd offer a good cooling solution. If the OP is not a huge PC gamer or enthusiast than it could overheat quickly.

I think there's a Gigabyte variant that has a much better heatsink attached.

I think the heatsink is the equivalent of the Zalman VF1000, which a very very nice heatsink.
