If $500 is your max then get an 8800GT for sure, you'll be very underbudget, but highly satisfied for $240-$250. If you want lower, go for an HD3850, or even cheaper maybe an X1950PRO.

Any of those cards will put that onboard POS to absolute shame. It's like comparing a tricycle to a 911 Turbo...

Aside from Crysis, an X1950PRO will probably have you maxing out, or very close to maxing out most games at medium resolutions.
