Upgrading to 1 TB HDD
Keeping 4 GB ram (changing next month)
Upgrading to Corsair CX600 Builder Series 600W PSU
And upgrading to XFX AMD Radeon HD 7870 2GB Core DD Edition Card

Yeah, although the 4100 will hold for awhile. I would wait until AMD releases there next series of CPU's in early 2014 first. If you had the money I would go for the 8320 or 8350.

Its a great and cheap CPU. Again though. If you don't have the money, the 4100 will hold its own for now. Just try and overclock it to 4Ghz plus. I got mine to 4.6Ghz with no voltage change. Also that CPU cooler would work for the 8320 as well.
