with a 220 watt power supply, there is really nothing I would feel safe putting in there. you will have to get at least a 300 watt power supply to put any cards in there safely. with a 350 watt budget, you can get a 750ti which is the most powerful no-VGA-power-cable-needed-card. it is bout $120-150, there is also the 750, and the R7 250 which are often around 100 more or less with the R7 250 being around 75 often, but it is far weaker than the 750.

Can i get any type of power supply because I do have and old 500w in an old computer? And willl thiis make games run smoother or is there other updates i would need? like hdd, ram? Thanks

A PSU wont make games any smoother, but for graphics cards, a 750ti will let you play battle field 4 at medium to high, and a R7 250 is good for minecraft and skyrim, the Gt750 would be in between. you could put any PUS in if it fits, but really you do not need anymore than 350 watts for what you are doing, a 400 watt may be a good idea for future upgrades. I would recommend getting at least a 80 PLUS BRONZE rated power supply gold is over kill though. every thing else on that computer looks very good, especially that 16GB of RAM, all you will need to do is get the drivers.
