Go here for the processor.

And here to compare video card benchmarks.

I'd strongly recommend checking ebay for the processor as it's not worth anywhere near paying 200 bucks for.

What about dropping a Core 2 Quad into your old mobo and adding 2 GB of DDR2? Not your sexy build but you could do this as a stopgap til you need to upgrade the graphics card (it sounds like you're processor bound).

Also HDD I/O has come a long way in 5 years. If you decide to go for the gold you might look into whether or not it make sense to replace this.
