MY son has a dell dimension 5100 PC. I need to upgrade the video card so that he can play command and conquer zero hour. However, I found out I might need to upgrade the power supply and maybe even the motherboard. Any suggestions? Thanks

Thankfully, you've got a PCIe slot in there

http://support.dell.com/.../parts1.htm

so you'll be able to fit a PCIe graphics card.

Command & Conquer Zero hour is years old and so simply needs a '32 MB DirectX 8-compatible Graphics card'.

This graphics card will do nicely, and only needs a 400w PSU
