Basically a new graphics card would be enough... and check what soundcard you have.

its an onboard sound but i think that is alright

Same as silent scope, graphics card will do the trick.

As for sound, onboard will do fine.

You can get a radeon 9800 pro and still have £50 change from that budget.

which graphics card would you recommend for the money and you dont reackon it would be worth doubling the ram

You got enough Ram.

and if i were to get this card as i have seen a good price on overclockers how easy would it be to change this would it just be slotting a new one in where the old one and it would work?

Yep.

Unless of course your FX5200 is a PCI card.
