Need some help here.
Have a 4 yr old Dell XPS 8000, as shown in sig below and am thinking to upgrade GeForce GTS 240 OEM Graphics card.
Dell gives these choices on their website for upgrade when you scroll down to Graphic Cards For Your Studio XPS 8000 view all:

All these choices are confusing.
My question is which is the best for less than $100 and why?
Also If if I decide to spend more than $100, which is the best and why?
Not really sure about what to look for in graphic card specs.
Not really interested in gaming use. Just want a solid video card with HDMI output that will hopefully make/view videos better than the OEM card that is getting a bit noisy. I am told this noise is caused by wear on fan bearings of the OEM card.
