You could get one of these at £334 incl

Leadtek GeForce 7950 GX2 1024MB

But i think you going to be limited by your cpu and memory.

Nothing wrong with it, but the 7950 is a beast and to get the most out of it i would think youd need something along the lines of fx60. Mabye someone who has one can advise more.

Why not stick with what u got. Upgrade the mem as youve said, and save up for something in the new year. Prices on graphics and hdd are always coming down.
