I have a nice Dell XPS system with an i7 and 12gb ram but I lack in the graphics card to play the newer games. Is there any suggestions of what to get for not alot of cash? I don't want to spend more than $200 and that's the top top.

Just wait for holiday sales, and get whichever had the highest original price. AMD/nvidia doesn't really matter, just make sure to get something from their newest series.
And name site you have a suitable power supply. 600w from a good brand name will do.

Would a R9 270X GDDR5-2GB 2xDVI/HDMI/DP OC Graphics Card work good? I can get it on Amazon for $168.00
I already have 12gb RAM so I don't think I need the 4gb dedicated right?

Video card RAM is mostly used for texturea, and is used differently than system RAM. Though i wouldn't go any lower than 3gb on your card
But yes, that is a fine card. Although , if you can wait a few weeka, I'm sure you'll get a better deal. Pretty sure the r280 or r280x is currently under $200, and is a big increase in performance.
