Help choosing a video card for PC; new to PC gaming

[fuDashi]

Hi forum folk!

I am trying to decide on a graphics card so that I can upgrade my current PC. The problem is I am completely new to PC hardware and I must say I'm pretty lost. I have a graphics card I am looking at and I'm wondering if this will be optimal in my current system. I realize that it's all fairly dated, but since I'm new I'm not too ready for the hardcore gear.

Motherboard: Asus F1A55-M LX PLUS
Power supply: diablotek DA series PSDA400 400watt ATX 12V

The graphics card I am considering is: NVIDIA- GeForce GTX 550 Ti 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 Graphics Card

So I'm jut wondering if this graphics card will work well for me!
Again I know it's dated but I'm new to tech.
I'm so sorry if I left anything out.
If you have any other suggestions I'm open to all as long as they will work and get some better life out of this PC!

I would recommend a GTX 560 ti or Higher since its a better performing card which will perform better and longer with all the new games coming out. You can find it in closeout in many places.

Go for 650 Ti Boost Edition it's much better then a 550 Ti.
