For starters, if you have the installation disks for windows, install 64 bit version. 32 bit is a thing of the past really, unless you don't have enough ram.

By "what else do i need to upgrade" are you implying that your computer was recently upgraded? A lot of the hardware is pretty outdated.

You don't need a good graphics card for a 64-bit version of windows, all a 64-bit version does is allow you to use more than 4GB of RAM (though 4GB or more is NOT a requirement) and make most if not all 16-bit apps stop functioning. This means DOS support (you can still get DOS boot cd's and the like)

Before we go recommending graphics cards, brand and model of power supply do you have?

How much were you looking to spend? I'd go for an SSD, PSU and Graphics card. (but tell us how much you have to spend first)
