Depends upon your motherboard's video slot- with an FX5200 currently, I'm assuming you have AGP?
The 7800GS probably is the best AGP card you can get. But it's kinda expensive- between $270 and $325. The 7600GS costs a little less, closer to $225. I think the 7300GT is only available in PCI-Express, so that wouldn't be an option.
For about $150 you can get a 6800GT, which is affordable and can still handle high-end games. Anything under $100 will probably be crap for modern shader-intensive 3D games.
ATI really hasn't bothered with the AGP market for awhile- there's no comparable card in this case. They do have excellent high-end PCI-Express cards, though (but the X1900XTX is too rich for my blood, hehe)

You would not believe how uncanny this question is!!!
I too have the same card,(64Mb), and tried to install and play a game called 'Prey', only to find that I also need to upgrade.
The minimum upgrade is to a Nvidia GeForce 5800 (128Mb,) but I will watch this question to see what card is suggested.
I presume that you are in the UK.
The Geforce 7300 GT is for Windows Vista and not Windows XP.

Get geforce 7300 GT for a hundred bucks.
It has 512Mb of memory and has shaders and excellent 3d lighting support.
