I would say the 4850 is the sweet spot in this case. Roughly $100, go $20 lower and performance halves but you have to go $150 higher for performance to double. If you look on that Tom's Hardware chart linked above, even the best Intel chip is 6 years out of date so honestly anything you get will be an improvement. 4850 will be maybe 20x faster than your current card.
If you're constrained for price, then the HD 4670. It's cheaper and similarly performing to the 9600 GSO mentioned while using much less power than the 9600GT above it.
