My system:

Dell XPS 430
Intel Core 2 Quad 2.5 GHz
6 GB DDDR3 RAM
750 GB HD
DVD Drive
425W Power Supply
ATI Radeon HD 3650 256 MB

I have a spare Nvidia 8600 GT 512 MB and want to improve gaming capabilities.

1. Should I install the Nvidia 8600 GT 512 MB ?

2. What would be a better option considering the 425W PS ?

Budget: $150 - $250
Monitor: 24" HD 1920 X 1200
