recommend a graphics card

Hi all,
I play the Sims 3 a lot and have found that with each new expansion pack the quality of my gaming suffers. My pc is 5 years old and was high-end when I bought it, but it needs upgrades. As a result I'm upgrading my RAM and doing a few other things to try and avoid CTDs and errors of various flavors. I also want to upgrade my graphics card. I currently have a Geforce 7950 GT from about 5 years ago. The guy helping me with my upgrades noted it's a PCI express. He also said I have a very good motherboard. Anyway, I was hoping for advice on the best card to get to replace it. No way can I afford anything brand new. It would be nice for the card not to exceed $100. Would you please recommend a good card for me, as I am clueless and would likely choose poorly on my own?

Thanks in advance!

What is your CPU and power supply? How much RAM do you have installed?

Hi Moonbogg, thanks for responding.

I'll be upgrading to 8 gigs of RAM. My CPU is a dual core, but I can't tell you more than that because the computer is over at someone's house for the upgrade. It was a good computer 5 years ago.

Thanks!
