G315 is not a good graphics card and your weak link for gaming. To recommend a replacement we will need to know the size of the PSU.

And the resolution you play at.

Since it was a prebuilt and has a low power usage card. I can only assume the stock psu would be around 300-400 watts. Upgrade the psu to a decent PSU manufacturer like Corsair, or Antec (500+ wattage). Yet, I can't tell you what GPU you should buy because it depends on the size of your case. Reply to us so we can tell you what GPU you should buy.

thanks for your replys so far

Having a 500watt PSU and a PCI express X16 version 2.0 slot you could upgrade to any mid range card you want a HD6850 or GTX460 would be what I would suggest.

GTX 560 is what I'd suggest as of this day.

Without knowing your resolution, we don't know how much GPU you need.
