I have a cpu, which has a core 2 quad 2.33 ghz, 4 gb ram 64 bit operating system, it also has 1gb msi geforce 9400 gt card on a 22 inch samsung syncmaster but performance is very poor, all the games i had to play till this date in 4years was in the lowest resolution possible , i want yo play the maximum games possible in h.d all mew games, but due to tight budget i cant go for a oberall upgrade, but i want to know whats the best graphic card i can use, and what power supply unit i would need? Budget can be increased if i get something really good, withouth changing the rest, please advice what can i do?

If you want to keep the same power supply that apparently is sufficient for the 9400GT, I would look into the new Maxwell powered GTX 750 or 750 Ti. It uses the same amount of power as your old card, but is in a different league: http://www.hwcompare.com/17252/geforce-9400-gt-256mb-vs-geforce-gtx-750/

This one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814487027
And this slightly faster one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814487026
...are at the low end of the price range. But not knowing your budget, I am only guessing.

The GTX 750/750Ti is the fastest card available that does not need a aux power connector. Most can operate on a run-of-the-mill 300W PSU.
As you can see, there is no comparison...

And the 750 Ti takes it a to a whole 'nother level if you can stretch your dollars.

I have that last one on my 2nd machine. And I'm playing Crysis 3 (!) at 1080p with mid range settings with an AMD quad core from about the same generation as your Intel C2D.
