I'd highly reccomend atleast a x800GT0, but an x800XL (6800GT over that if you can find one; being they're nearly extinct from shelves) seems to be the seriously sweet spot for your kind of setup. You can see from my sig, -my system roughly compares to yours and the card I chose has suited it pretty well thus far, scoring similarly to similar systems (a bit low for such a card) -but still about 5500 in 3DMark05.

BTW, it's not your card that is scoring so low, it's your processor that's holding it back. Still a good score though.

For 200 (~$300 US if i'm not mistaken), I would go with at least an X800XL. The X850 Pro would be sweet if you can find one with VIVO, because it'll unlock to an X850XT (uses an R480 core). On the nVidia side, Look for a 6800GS. Looks to be an awesome OC'ing card for $200. If you can't find one, the 6800GT is a good find as well.
