@Doc (Thank you Doc for the keyboard discussion, it helped a lot. Also, you know your shit so I am assuming you'd help).

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 just got the GPU I have now a year ago D:

How much money do you think you'll get?

No clue. But I know for sure nothing more than $200 Sadly...

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.

For cheaper things, yes.

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