    Need help finding a new video card, recommendations?

    I have a 9300 video card, and I was gifted 2 games for x-mas this year (thank you guys :-) ). Sonic Generations, and Star Wars: The Force Unleashed 2.
    But, accordingly, I can't run Sonic Generations, and SWTFU2 runs terribly. Very slow, and laggy. I did everything I could, lowered screen resolution, updated, lowered graphics, still a bit slow.
    So I know now my next step is that I have to buy a new card, but I have very limited funds to do this. and when I say 'very limited funds' I don't mean I only have a couple hundred bucks, I mean I have about $70 right now. If anyone can give me recommendations, or know of any deals that I could take advantage of, please help. Would be greatly appreciated.

    need system specs.

    a video card may help, but if other parts are old the video card may not help

    I posted my specs, either of those would work well with my PC?
