Graphics card recommendations?

Currently I'm looking for a new graphics card for my computer, and I've decided I'm gonna go with an NVIDIA card, but I'm not sure which would be a good choice. I'm looking for something that's at least 1 or 2 gb dedicated, I'd preferably like 2 gb and can run the sims 3 with all expansions/stuff packs and the sims 4 with expansions/stuff. I'm not looking for anything horribly expensive, I'd like to get something for under $200 if possible. I only play the sims 3 and 4, nothing else. So any recommendations would be appreciated.

In order to recommend a graphics card that will be compatible with your computer, I'm going to need more information if possible. Could you post a DxDiag report please? Instructions on how to do so can be found here:

If you are having trouble pasting the full report here, try splitting it into multiple messages, or use pastebin.com
I hope this helps and keep simming,

Ask me about custom-built PCs!

It's a HP H8-1020 Desktop computer. Right now it's just running on onboard graphics. Original graphics card died, and I can't get a new one in due to the BIOS requiring an update that is not available for the computer, and I can't find a replacement of the original card, so my only option for a new GPU is to replace the motherboard and get a better power supply. So I'm just trying to find out which would be a good graphics card to go with.
From looking at your computer, I would like to just say beforehand that for any suggestions I make, I cannot guarantee that they will be 100% compatible with your system and you may run into issues. Also, the upgrade you're discussing is fairly complicated, so I would suggest that the upgrade be done by someone with a lot of experience with building computers if you are not confident with doing it yourself.
Here is what I would suggest (incl. motherboard & power supply):
