first of your cpu is fine why someone is suggesting a fx 6300 when you have a fx 4300 is nonsense thats a waste of money since your only got 120 to spend though i suggest jumping your budget up

7850 will whack your frames up whats your bottleneck is the gpu its a weak card 7770 is entry level

keep in mind these are ultra settings

this will improve your gaming performance more psu is important to upgrade yes its easy to upgrade if you know how

this guy shows the importants he also mentions the motherboard power connector has a push in tab to release while you pull e.g like a clothes peg. second thing he discconnects is the power to motherboard which he shows the close peg like latch

install psu like in video using same screws that came with old psu

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iPTDz9LXWqY

one thing video 2 does not show is you have to unscrew the nut holding the card in place to the case also your latch may be diffrent to release the card so be careful disconnect any connections to the card usually has a similar peg interface like the motherboard connector.

once removed old card install card and connect the pci connectors to the card and screw bolt back in place done.

i have chosen a modular design psu for you so you dont get confused by half a tonne of wires and you only use the wires you need

I would recommend the you think about the processer that you the laptop, you would need to upgrade the processer first to a 4gb and then the graphics card to 512mb, plz view these items that are solved on amazon.

EVGA GeForce 6200 512 MB DDR2 PCI 2.1 VGA/DVI-I/S-Video Graphics Card, 512-P1-N402-LR

Intel Core i7-2600K Quad-Core Processor 3.4 Ghz 8 MB Cache LGA 1155 - BX80623I72600K
