For the OP - these guys will build a PC to your specification, which will probably work out a lot less hassle than replacing bits of your current one. They built my current PC. I was very happy with their service - much better than my previous experience of buying from Dell.

The PSU will not run the latest graphics cards, so just swapping the card is not an option either.

 

 

Well, you certainly can't replace it with one of the top range cards....but, your PSU will run an Nvidia GT440 card as they require a minimum of 300w, although 350 or 400w would be better. These are obviously not hard core gamers cards but the one I fitted in my daughters PC (similar spec to yours) runs all of her games without any issues that I can see and is well above the minimum spec required to run the formula one game. One thing to keep in mind is that older motherboards like yours MAY not run a higher quality card than the X40 series without a Bios upgrade, even if one is available. It would seem that motherboards are outdated in an ever decreasing period of time so you probably need a complete rebuild at some stage in the near future.
