Upgrading your graphics card will give you better game play for sure, but if your running the 64 bit version of seven I would also look into adding 2 more gigs of the exact same ram.
Well now that depends on your budget.
Their is an artical on Tomshardawre about the best bang for your buck. Maybe it can help you decide. Best Graphics Cards For The Money: November '09 : October Review And November Updates - Review Tom's Hardware
I suggest ur for an ATI card like 4850 or 4870 or 4890(for who is has a lot of money)..i run Crysis without lagging and crashing with 2X 4870
If you get a better video card, keep in mind that anything significantly better than the 9600GT will most likely need a stronger PSU. For the 9600GT, a 400W power supply is highly recommended. For the 250 GTS, which offers a pretty good compromise of price and performance, you'll need a 550W power supply. A GTX 295 will want a 700W PSU at minumum.
My copy of Dragon Age just shipped, so I'll be able to test it on my system (link in left lower corner of this post) in a few days. I expect it to run on high settings, though not on the highest. W7 reports a 6.8 for games. Haven't overclocked the card yet, though, and I'm not convinced of the driver I'm currently using.
