You don't have a Dell do you? Because that sounds like you've pretty much got the same computer as I had until a week ago.
First of all I'd say upgrade the RAM. 1GB should be fine but seeing as RAM is cheap, you might want to go higher. Scrap the 5200 and buy a good card but first (and here I'm teaching you from my own mistake) check whether your computer has an AGP or PCIe slot. If it's from 2002 I'd say it's AGP, which complicates the video card upgrading process as AGP cards are rarer and more expensive. I pretty much went to a computer store that I trusted, asked what they recommended for a good mid-range card and then googled it to see whether it was worth it. Reviews for most cards that I looked at had one fatal flaw, so I ended up with a Radeon HD 3850 because no review had anything bad to say about it (they weren't gushing with praise either, but they said it was good value for money).
