Actually, that upgrade will not work. As far as I can tell, the Radeon X1600, while a newer card, is still based on AGP technology, and your motherboard does not have an AGP slot. And it isn't a low-profile card, which means it won't physically fit.
I did find the Radeon HD 2600XT card, which is a low-profile PCIx16 card, for between $100 and $150. This card has a VGA, DVI, and HDMI connector, and is capable of outputting 1080p. You can price it at froogle.
Let me know what you think!

Ah I see, Thank you. I'm glad I posted here first before buying anything. It looks like a decent video card however I just have one question: In the Software/System Requirements it states this: Peripheral / Interface Devices CD-ROM, 300W power supply, Does this mean I hae to have a 300W power supply or will my 280W power supply work?

Nope, your power supply will work fine. That is just a recommendation, and what really matters is the power going to that particular slot, and it is getting plenty of power to power the card.
