how much you want to spend is the question, the more the merrier. £100 will get you a medium ati or nvidea ive got an x700 pro ati for £100 its good, i play bf2 and others and graphics are good and smooth.
look around for good deals and make sure you get agp/ pci-e as required as they are not compatable
 
ok....unfortunatly PCI isnt the best method for video cards however there are still a few options.

depending of the northbridge of your mainboard you will either have ATI or Nvidia

I would strongly recommend staying in the same family of chips just for simplicity.

for an ATI about the best you can do is the 9250; and for Nvidia id go with the FX5500 either of those will come with 128MB and maybe 256.

You wont be able to play top notch games life half life 2 and BF2. You should be able to get away with Halo 1, age of empires 2, COD 1, and that generation of games. Mostly the stuff that retails for $20-$30 US.

id strongly recommend looking into getting a new motherboard with at least and AGP if not PCI. They should be about $80 for the board and you can get a decent card like geforce 6600 for about $115.
 
Hi talset and welcome to TechSpot :)

currently, the best PCI video card is the BFG Tech 3DFuzion FX6200. it only costs $28 USD on newegg (i know you cant buy from newegg, but you should still be able to get it for well below your $130 budget)

it should allow you to play most modern games at low settings, maybe some games on medium at best.

cheers :wave:
