Save up for a new rig, upgrading that would be a waste of money.

If you don't want to buy a new one, then upgrade the video card and RAM.

Shit-can the 6200 TurboCache ASAP. If you want a DX9 card, go with a 7950GT. If you want DX10 get a 8600GTS, or if you can scratch up an extra $20-30, and 8800GTS 320MB.

save up for a while dude, you'll just be putting of the inevitable full system upgrade.

You can only upgrade that thing so much before you hit a wall and end up losing all of the money you spent upgrading.

Eh, I'm pretty sure that a 6200 would be an AGP card (correct me if I'm wrong) so he'd need a new motherboard..
