Your computer comes with a 300 watt power supply. That restricts your choices- the best card you can install is a GeForce GT240.

The Radeon HD 5570 would also work, it's a little slower than the GT240.

Anything better than a GT240 would require you to upgrade the computer's power supply. If you purchased a 450-500 watt power supply, that would allow you to install better cards like the Radeon HD 5750, 5770 and GeForce GTS 450. Of course you'd be spending about $170 total instead of $70...

The GT240 would be ok for WoW:Cataclysm, and it's only $41 after rebate.
