assuming you have these specs:
CPU 1.8GHz Intel Pentium E2160
Memory 2GB 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM
Graphics 128MB Nvidia GeForce 8300 GS

The graphic card you have is the best for the cpu i think... most of graphic card over that will be bottlenecked by this CPU...

if you want to upgrade for gaming you will need to change everything.
