Upgrade for gaming

I recently purchased a game that exceeds the resources on my system.
I was wondering about doing the upgrade.
I have a Pentium 4 CPU 2.66 GHz with 256 MB RAM and a Video card:
GeForce FX 5200.
The game requires an upgrade to 512 MB RAM and a DirectX 9.0 compatible
i.e. GeForce FX 6200.
How can I tell if my system can handle the upgrade, etc?
Thanks for any ideas.
Brian.
