You should upgrade the GPU. If you can afford to go to about $250, try getting one of these:

did research and its say the 460 got better fps idk
the full 460 1GB and 6850 perform close enough that it's essentially the same (within margins of error)
just pick whichever is cheaper and a better brand/cooler
