Re: gfx card choice
Pull out the existing card and bring it to the dealers to check when you look for the new one.
I replaced my fx5500 with an NVidia 6800GT about a year ago. Vast improvement. My computer uses an AGP slot. I'll never buy an off the shelf branded desktop again (similar set up).
The 6800GT (Albatron) was about US$400 then. So it might be within your budget now.

Edit: I also upgraded to 2 gig of RAM for about US$100. It helps
