So I currently have an HPE-400y with no internal changes made yet:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02481314&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en
I intend to upgrade my GPU and power supply (and potentially my CPU if necessary). My current GPU isn't all that good for gaming and I want a better one, and I realize a power supply upgrade is necessary. I have a limited budget, so I'm looking for cost-effective upgrades. After doing a lot of research on Google, I came up with this...
Two potential GPUs (I don't know which to get):

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00HJOKCZI/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1402366039&sr=8-1
Potential power supply:

So I have a few questions....
1. Which GPU should I go with? Or is there something better I can get that's under $130?
2. Will that power supply run said GPU?
3. Will everything fit into and be compatible with my current motherboard and tower?
4. Since I intend to run modern games, should I upgrade my CPU as well, or is my current one fine? If I should upgrade, what's something I can get that's cost effective?
Extra things to know: I'm not hardware savvy at all. My OS is Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit).
