Upgrading Video card?
Well I have a farely old computer.
It's a Dell Inspiron 531.
Basically I'm just upgrading my video card to run Aion at decent graphic settings without lagging down to 8fps in citys.
Aion GPU Requirements:
NVIDIA Geforce 9800 GT, AMD Radeon HD 4850 or higher
I went through tons and tons of video cards but it's hard to find a video card that will work with my 290w power supply and still put out good power. The 9800GT is a little old and the nvidia website told me that my computer could run a Geforce GT 630 which I figured would be better then the 9800 GT but on Newegg the reviews on the card say it's NOT a gaming card. Lol.
My comp currently has 4gb ram, win 32 bit.
Here's link to MOBO.

I just really need help deciding because if I'm going to buy one I want one that will be the best bang for my buck and still run games decent with only a 290w psu.

You should really upgrade to a 500-750 watt power supply and you could get a decent graphics card (such as Nvidia 550) for really cheap.
Nevertheless - try one of the older Nvidia cards in the 200x series. I don't know how much power they take - but I would assume it's less than the newer ones.
