Well, good news and bad news.
From the looks of the specs of your machine, you do have a PCI-E slot, and from what I'm told, an Nvidia 8800 series card would be the way to go. Now I have an HD3870, which performs pretty well, but ATI is a bit lacking these days imho. In fact, I wouldn't even be using it if it hadn't been given to me in trade.
The bad news is that the power supply you have (if you haven't changed it yet that is)

Get a good Power Suply and an 8800GT or GTX (even better!!!)
I have a similar PC but with a bit better specs and I had to up my PSU and card and it costs around $250 or less if you play your cards right
