If you want to upgrade it you need to give us a budget range.
And you probably also need to figure out what wattage your powersupply is and if it has the PCI-Express connectors it needs, as most better graphics cards will need some extra power.
Your monitor is only 1280x1024 (according to that .txt you posted, at least?) so even a little will go a long way. As an example the high-mid range GTX760 ($250) would give you good FPS at maximum settings in nearly any game at that resolution.

I'd definitely be looking at no more than $300, but being a broke college student my budget for this stuff is effectively $0.
