video card has nothing at all to do with rendeirng scenes in Mental Ray.  It's
mainly about RAM and CPU.  Secondly, the specs for your parts are just fine for
rendering Mental Ray.   I'd actually recommend first you learn a bit more about
optimizing your Mental Ray settings to get the most performance and quality with
as little render time as possible.  

If you still want to upgrade... here's some prices

 2GB Ram (recommend 4 total)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16820231098  - $74.99 (per
pair)

Motherboard:  http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16813131142  -
$129.99

Quad core intel:  http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E1681
