Unfortunately, your system's motherboard prevents installation of a PCI-E card. A good PCI bet would be the Radeon HD 5450 (but make sure you get the PCI version, not the PCI-E.) Keep in mind that this will not make your computer a gaming system by any means. Media will be played very well, and you should be able to run most games at low to medium settings.

To get the most graphics performance out of your current system, you
would have to purchase a new motherboard, CPU, and RAM (your current CPU and RAM would bottleneck a faster graphics card). So if you want
to game at high settings I would actually recommend investing in a new
computer.
Good luck.
Testimonial: "thank you! "
Due to the limited amount of power produced by your power supply (250 watts) and the fact that you appear not to have PCI Express of AGP video card slots on your motherboard, it is not a good idea to upgrade your graphics card in a an attempt to achieve better performance.
However, if your onboard (built-in) video card has stopped functioning properly, I would recommend this card as a replacement:

Or this one if you would like to connect to a monitor or especially a TV via HDMI:

Please first explain what you're purchasing the new video card for (gaming, watching tv/movies/etc, etc). Also please advise as to how much you want/can afford to spend. This will help me recommend the best video card for your budget.
