You're probably looking at something like the GTX 650:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130830 ($124 after rebate)

Or if you want to go AMD, the 7770 on sale would do the trick:

These are lower end graphics cards, so you shouldn't expect ultra settings at 1080p with 60fps, but they will do the trick.

Every game i am going to play will bee on resution 1024x768 and low-medium settings how much fps can i have then ? (Sry for bad english)

The correct answer below $200 is almost always to buy used.

GTX560Ti

Also the AM2 Phenom you've got there is going to be your biggest bottleneck so I'd anticipate upgrading your system. The good news is your motherboard appears to support Phenom ii chips so I'd pick one of those up for $100 while you're at it.

With that resolution and one of the cards mentioned, you should be getting good fps on medium-high settings.

thats fine for 1024x768. You cpu will still be a limiting factor, its quite slow by today's standards. It would really struggle with some newer games.

Unless your 1024x768 monitor is refreshing at 250Hz, which it's not, you would never see those framerates on your monitor anyway...even if your monitor was that fast, you're eyes are never going to perceive that.

The scent of trolling is getting stronger...

If your getting 170fps, then there is no reason to upgrade. like has been said, you monitor cant refresh that fast anyway, the only thing that can see fps that high is fraps.........

It isnt that what i see its because movement in game and strafe are much better.

 

[Jaxem]

not really, because your monitor is probably only at 60hz, which means it updates 60 times a second, any frames over 60 a second don't make any difference visually whatsoever. If you have a 144hz monitor, then anything past 144 frames per second is wasted as well.

no matter how many frames you push at your monitor, only as many as how many hz your monitor is capable of will make it through.

You're imagining it, your monitor isn't showing you those fps.
