Don't get Nvidia. They're making crappy cards as of late. My 9800 GT keeps overheating and getting me BSOD's. It stops every week or so but it starts up again like 2 months later.

This wherever you can find it for cheaper. Should be good enough for most games owo... Not the best though D:

Is there a better one that's not that much higher?
Go to Newegg.com and look.
I just found the same card for cheaper.

Just look for a 1GB+ DDR3 or DDR5 by ATI :/

$150 budget: Vapor-X 5750
$200 budget: MSI Hawk 5770.
Doesn't require a PCI-E connector(ie crappy PSUs): 5670.

Okay, seeing as your sister got an nvidia graphics card, that must mean that your sister's motherboard ONLY supports nvidia.
If you want to stop overheating, just get a fan for your card...
Newegg.com - ECS NGT240-1GQR-F GeForce GT 240 1GB 128-bit DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready Video Card
Normally I would just go with everyone else's suggestion of the ATI Radeon HD 5000 series, but if that motherboard ONLY supports nvidia, well... nothing more we could really do.
If by some miracle your motherboard DOES support ATI cards..
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814161338
Only approx 157 USD.
