I'm not realy sure what is availible in Macedonia or the pricing, but you should really look to geting a more up to date video card.
Nvidia is 3 generations beyond the 8xxx series and ATI is making 5xxx cards these days, almost reay for the 6xxx generation

If you can Get a card with 1GB of RAM... trust me its well worth it! Especially in Gaming.

I'm not really looking for a that good graphics card, it's just an upgrade.

Also can somebody move this to the proper place, because no answers are getting here because of the random topics.

8600GT. The poor little 4350 never had a chance, the 8600GT is faster, everywhere.

Anything in the lower end video card range isnt going to push the resolution/AA/AF that 1GB helps with. Quite often, the lower edn cards will be GDDR3 for the 512MB version, then DDR2 for the 1GB version. Better to get 512MB of faster RAM than 1GB of slower RAM.

8600 GT is a faster card with better drivers.

However, I would recommend looking for a better card.

I don't know how it is over there, but here you can pick up a lot of cards that are better for under 75 USD - GT 220, GT 240, 9600 GT, Radeon HD 4670. If you play any 3D games at all, it will be worth the difference easily - most important thing is make sure the memory is fast - don't buy a card with DDR2, and prefer GDDR3-GDDR5 if you can get it.
