What's your budget?

Dependent on that I'd suggest adding some memory and buying a new video card.

Well I'm going to need to know exactly what your CPU is because that GPU is 4-5 years old so I'm going to assume your CPU is pretty old too. That being said, if you do just buy a new GPU as Clutch recommended, you are going to be SEVERELY bottlenecked by that CPU. You're better off building from scratch.

Do you know the exact CPU you have? Depending on it add some ram and a graphics cards and have a decent rig, if you don't try downloading CPUz
