Well, I'm not sure what that is, can you explain to me what those are and what my current GPU and PSU is?

I'd be looking at something like this:
PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant / Benchmarks

Video Card: Asus GeForce GTX 760 2GB Video Card ($249.99 @ NCIX US)
Power Supply: XFX 550W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply ($25.99 @ Newegg)
Total: $275.98
(Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available.)

You could also grab an i5 and H87 board, but moving the Windows license across motherboards can be interesting.
