Personally I would wait on the GPU until you can save some more maybe $200-250 and then get a GPU. Really for gaming you do not really get much for $100 that is going to be a real upgrade from where you are.

You got a really good PSU with the Corsair TX650 why not get a GPU that can take advantage of it. I think you would be happier with the upgrade if you where able to get a GPU that would enough of a performance upgrade over the one you have to make it worth it.
