Video card would be the best to upgrade.

A quad core processor would be nice to, but that would require a new mobo/cpu/ram unless you can find a used Q9550 for a good price (good luck with that)

I would recommend overclocking your current processor to 4ghz and saving for a new mobo/cpu/ram in the future.
