What would be a good gaming graphics card for this system?

I've found that the GT 520 isn't really decent enough for some games, so i'd like to look into upgrading.

OS: Windows 7 Home Premium Edition (64-bit) Service Pack 1 (Build 7601)
Memory (RAM): 6127 MB
CPU: Intel® Core™ i5-2320 CPU @ 3.00GHz (Quad core)
Current graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce GT 520 4 GB
Motherboard: ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. CM6630_CM6730_CM6830.
Power supply:
Budget: 68€ - 160€

This would be a very suitable replacement. But Im not 100% sure that your 350W PSU is enough. But it should do.

It's called a 350W, but the table clearly shows that it can only provide 300W total, only 216W at 12V - the graphics card uses only 12V and most other components (especially CPU) use it to a greater or lesser extent as well.
You never know with this kind of PSU whether it can even sustain what it claims it can. I personally wouldn't trust it with a decent graphics card.

Maybe someone could recommend me a good graphics card+suitable PSU as well.

This should do the job. Also great choice if you're on a tight budget

Generally, go for Corsair.

For more detailed help or so.
Try asking at http://www.hardwareonline.dk - Nice and good danish HW community. Just make a thread, and they'll help you. Most times you'll get usable answers within an hour or so

Oh thanks. I'll try that site. Have been on it before but never thought of asking there.

Do some googling on fan noise for that particular PSU before buying. It might not be a problem on that modell but it is on my Corsair 650W V2.

get a better psu 500w+ then get maybe a gtx 550 ti? or gtx 6 series

You don't need 500w+ of power for a GTX 550 Ti.

Ras - If you don't want to get a new power supply, then a 7750 can work with your current power supply. It's a little close to the power limit, though.

It's risky with a mystery brand PSU, so I recommend a new power supply. You don't need crazy amounts of power, either. 500w or less is sufficient.
