    I think the only thing that you need to upgrade is your graphic card, and Nv GTX 650 @ ~100USD or GTX 650 ti @~130USD would be a good choice for you. Here are the comparisons:

    The GeForce GTX 650 features core speeds of 1058 MHz on the GPU, and 1250 MHz on the 2048 MB of GDDR5 memory. It features 384 SPUs as well as 32 Texture Address Units and 16 ROPs.Compare those specifications to the GeForce GTX 650 Ti, which uses a 28 nm design. nVidia has clocked the core frequency at 928 MHz. The GDDR5 memory is set to run at a speed of 1350 MHz on this card. It features 768 SPUs along with 64 TAUs and 16 ROPs.(No game benchmarks for this combination yet.)

    Please note that the above 'benchmarks' are all just theoretical - the results were calculated based on the card's specifications, and real-world performance may (and probably will) vary at least a bit.

    Hope these information are helpful for you: )

    Mine is:

    Intel Core i3
    Biostar Motherboard
    8Gb RAM
    3 TB total hard drives (1x1TB & 1x2TB )
    Windows 8 x64
    Zogis GTX660 (Zogis is the Nvidia)
    Generic case and cooling system.

    So far I haven't had much problem playing:
    Battelfield 3/4
    GTA IV
    L4D2
    Arkham Origins
    Devil May Cry 4
    DMC Devil May Cry
    Dishonored


    I think GTX 660 if the least you can try on the Nvidia side. But if can, get a GTX 770. I'm thinking of upgrading to it this year. Or maybe chaging the whole PC to AMD.

    First decide on the resolution you will be playing. Then look around on review websites about those particular game's fps on various graphics cards. Finally decide on the card. Sometimes a 5% fps increase is not worth spending $200 more. Dont forget power hogging cards that warrant high powered PSU's. Hope this helps ...

    It makes me so happy that everyone, and I mean EVERYONE has chipped in to help me here. It means so much. I know what I need to do now, and just need to get the money together...
