You will need a new PSU as that one is a no name 250 Watt.
Your mobo will support a GPU so either a 750 or 750Ti would be reasonable for you.
Your CPU will be your bottleneck no matter what but I believe that the motherboard in there is an older AM2 so you can't really upgrade it you will need a new mobo and CPU.

What is your budget?

Specs here: http://www.cnet.com/products/acer-aspire-m5100/specs/

About the only thing you can really change is add a GPU. And then as mentioned above, the PSU as well.
Beyond that, it would a total replacement of everything.
