    because it's me. I'd upgrade the PSU to at least 600W so you won't have to worry about it later on.
    Definitely a GPU upgrade next.
    You'll get a heatsink with the CPU. Or get the Hyper 212.

    I need to know what socket the motherboard is. If it's socket AM3 then you're in some luck.

    Upgrade the CPU to this,

    AMD Phenom II X4 970 Black Edition Deneb 3.5GHz Socket AM3 125W Quad-Core Desktop Processor HDZ970FBGMBOX - Newegg.com

    and upgrade the GPU to this

    HIS iCooler H777F1G2M Radeon HD 7770 GHz Edition 1GB 128-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready Video Card - Newegg.com

    Not bad for $230. Just start saving up $30 and you should be sweet.

    CPU - i5-6600k 3.5 GHz Quad-Core

    RAM - 32 GB G.Skill Ripjaws V 2133 mhz RAM

    Hard Drives - WD 1 TB HDD, Corsair LS Force 120 GB SSD

    The 7770 is a lot faster than the GTX 650, and the current drivers are pretty good.

    It's waste of money, you should have did researches about this card before you bought it!
    Low power, and not for gaming.
