I would suggest that you consider the upgrades, in this order: GPU+PSU, 8GB of memory, aftermarket CPU heatsink.

As long as you don't OC the CPU, the stock heatsink will be fine. To step up your GPU, you shuld consider a stronger PSU as well. 8GB will more than meet the needs of most users.

Good luck!
