Yah, it would be far higher performance, and if you can do it then do it. But you will need to replace your power supply too.

As an exert from the lowdown of your machine says:
Expansion is easy in this system with only one exception. The Dell E521 provides a full x16 PCI-Express slot for graphics expansion to a discrete solution, but the power supply lacks the PCI-Express graphics power connector for high-end graphics cards. Unless you upgrade the power supply (it is a standard ATX size and format)

Edit: hahahh.. sorry bout that, actually neither of those 9x series cards require additional power either, so it should be fine too. Silly me not noticing.
But you wanna keep that in mind if you ever look to upgrade your computer much more in the future ^^;

Lol, how could you tell if they required additional power or not?

The photos of the cards themselves. If there was a required power to be shoved into them, there'd be like a little black box looking thing attached to the non-metal end of the card (next to or attached to the fan), where you would plug something into, sticking out abit from the card.
I could check the technical specs for them too, but as long as the photos are accurate (which they will be), then there is no need to.

Lol so yea, I think I ended up in a typing mood abit too much there sorry. They should do the trick, and do it decently ^^.
