Naw, I could probably research this, I'm just to lazy atm.

Apparently your socket type is lga 775 so you can get any of these

As long as you have a PCIe port you should be able to support any graphics card, just make sure your psu has enough 12v rails and wattage to power everything at load.

Since your computer is pretty vanilla from the store, i would go towards the cautious side and get at least a 650 watt psu.
