Hmmm... my guess is your X2 4400+ can handle a great many current games, but it's pretty borderline on others. For example, Tom's Hardware benched a 2.4ghz Intel dual core at 38.5FPS in Resident Evil 5, and the 4400+ will actually be a bit slower than that. And while Grand Theft Auto IV will run on a dual core CPU, I've heard it runs much better on a quad.
A inexpensive graphics upgrade might be worthwhile if you have a really weak graphics chip just so you can handle some current games on your rig, but your CPU will hold anything high end back.
Also, as mentioned, we really need to know what kind of power supply you have... a lot of the higher end graphics boards will pull more power than a low level power supply can handle.
