Looking for a new [cheap] card !

Hi there,
Sadly my old Geforce MSI NX8600GT has reached it's end, and now i'm looking to buy a new one, but i'm not really updated with all the new technologies and stuff, so i need your help with this!

I don't have a lot of money to spend, my budget for the card is around $50-100 and i really don't want to spend more than that if it's possible.

My actual hard is the following:
Mother: Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L
Micro: Core 2 Duo E4500 2200MHz
Ram: 2gb DDR2-800
Monitor: Dell ST2410 Full HD 1920x1080
PSU: Powercooler 500w

Keep in mind i don't want to update any other part of the hard for now and i'm not going to perform any overlocking [i'm really afraid of that ahah]

So based on this configuration and the low amount of money i want to spend, what is the best option to go for?
Is the psu enough to support all the things?

Thanks for your time.<span id="INSERTION_MARKER">

"The GeForce GTX 460 768 MB delivers impressive performance and a
reasonable price tag, relatively low power usage (especially after
having tested the GF100-based boards), and low noise output. At $150 it
offers enough of an upgrade over the Radeon HD 5770 to garner a solid
recommendation."

Hey thanks for your reply!
Unfortunately i live in Argentina, and here the prices are higher when talking about hardware.
For example, the GTX 460 is about $270 sad so i need a cheaper option.
