There actually were some boards with both AGP and PCI-E so his could be one of them. If so it will help a bit as you can get a cheaper HD4650 than the one above or an HD4670 for slightly less as well. Anything more powerful is pointless considering the rest of your system.
Another gig of ram would be a good idea.

What is your budget? An Athlon II x4 for $100 is the best for the money right now and should be several times faster than your current processor. A decent motherboard for it will be $60-100.
You will need new ram as well. 4 gigs of DDR3 1600 can be had for $94 although if you can't afford that just get 2 gigs for now and add more later.
