You'll need to upgrade the power supply, sorry to say. You can still pick something up for your price range with a power supply..

Look for a 450watt or 500watt power supply, and if you want to keep it under $120 look for a HD 6770 from AMD/ATI or try and see if you can get a second hand GTX 550 TI from Nvidia..

Good luck.

I'd get one of the cards eFFeRR referred to and then upgrade your PSU if you experience lock ups or severe FPS drops.

If you do get a PSU, get a quality 450-500w. Corsair, PCP&C or Antec would be my recommendations. Single 12v rail also.

GTX 670

Yes it is near 4x your price range

Then why post it?

OT:

I agree that you should upgrade your power supply, It just might be the most important part of your system. If the PSU craps out, the rest of your bits are likely to die along with it.

Use something like this: http://www.thermaltake.outervision.com/ to get an idea of your power needs.

Personally I have a 5770 gpu and the game runs just fine, but then again, I don't care that much about eye candy. Get something better and you'll be set, it should be possible within your price range.
