Rand0m,
CPU-Z should tell you what CPU and socket you are using.
It will look something like this for example:
http://www.cpuid.com/cpuz.php
Sisoft Sandra should be able to tell you anything else you need to know about your system:

A better cooling will probably not give you skyhigh benchmark results with a 6200. As I mentioned before, the 6200 isn't really considered a "good" gaming card at all. But it will probably give you a few extra frames, and more stable temperatures if you install a good fan on it.
However, to be perfectly honest it would make a lot of sense if you would save some cash for a better card. 6600GT and 6800GT/GS for example are great videocards, and they also have a quiet low pricetag. The difference between a 6200 and a 6600/6800 is huge performance-wise. But the price is not. Maybe you can sell your 6200 to some poor guy on Ebay
lol j/k
Just remember; make sure you read those instructions very carefully before changing the heat-sink on the cpu, and the fan on the video card.
