i have currently got a crappy old 8500gt 256mb graphics card, and was wondering; is buying a
Nvidia Geforce 8800gts 320mb
card is a good choice to buy, how much of a fps difference would i get ?

You're probably better off picking up a 9800GT or 9600GT. Roughly the same price (give or take a couple pounds) for slightly better performance and a lot less power consumption/heat generated. Since the 8500GT is not a gaming card, you'll probably see a significant performance gain, even from the 8500GT to the 8800GTS.
