I can see your motherboard has a PCI-e bus, but that doesn't necessarily mean you have a PCI-e 16x slot for a graphics card, you need to look inside and see first.
The other factor is if your power supply can handle it, in most OEM machines the PSU supplied is barely enough for the stock configuration, let alone throwing in a power hungry graphics card. Check the wattage on the PSU.

250W  |
Hellllllll no.
You'll want at least a quality 400w PSU.

I know for sure the GeForce 7100 series chipset has a single PCI-e x16 slot.
You'll need to get yourself a good 400W PSU, like Cheetah said.

So i should go with the hd4850?
And much of an improvement is it when you compare it with a 512MB GeForce 8600GS/

| The 9800GT is just a re branded 8800GT, I would either get a different nvidia video card like the 9800GTX+ or just get the HD4850.
