Verify that this is your style system: (see here).

If it is, then you are likely limited to a single-slot width graphics card. With a dual-slot width card, the motherboard's Ethernet and left most USB ports would likely be in the way of the cooling shroud. Additionally, from what I've found online, the only power supply upgrade option is only to a 310 watt PSU. Not worth the cost in my opinion.

Of the cards you listed, that 280 watt PSU would probably only be able to power the Radeon 2600XT (maybe) or the Geforce 8400GS.
