Have you messed with some off the video settings? While lowering the quality, you might be able to get 60 fps. Otherwise maybe consider it.

Graphics card and CPU limit the game to get 60fps.
A better graphics card won´t get you better FPS because your CPU limits as well.
Could get you better stability though (no delays)
Because of that, you probably should consider getting a complete new system

Play the game on lowest settings AND at the lowest resolution the game and your monitor allow. Check the framerate. That will give you some idea, not perfect but close enough, of how high a framerate you might get with a videocard upgrade. What a better videocard will allow you to do is run that framerate at a higher resolution and at higher settings. For example, if your CPU holds you to 45fps average with your current card at all low settings, a better card will still only get 45fps average but maybe at 1080p and high settings rather than 800x600 and low settings.

740 but with a better CPU, you would get in the range of 60 fps

the bottleneck is not just your graphics card, it´s your CPU too. You could get a gtx1060 and won´t get to stable 60fps with your x2 250.
Here some benchmarks with different CPUs :
