Time to upgrade...
Oh well, I'm bored of running LFS at 40FPS with all the stuffs on. I need a new GFX. Problem is I only have money for a GFX, nothing else. I'd like to know which card would be the best for my computer. Here are my specs (Sorry, all in French);

My budget is kinda undecided, but I doubt a card that may fit my needs will cost £500

TBH i'm not sure a new GFX card will help you, anthing you buy will just make your CPU the new bottleneck.
i think you have to buy a CPU instead of GFX, but i dont see the Socket of you Mobo, so if you have Socket 939 (I guess you have it) try to find AMD Athlon64 3500+ or better
A New GPU would improve LFS performance, and improve anything heavy on GFX cards. But your fps will be limited by your CPU now. So basically you can get a new GFX and suffer where the CPU is needed, but start gaining on things that rely on a good graphics card (alot of fps, racing games)
