I'm just interested to know if upgrading my system would be a good idea. I got it secondhand and I'm not all that knowledgeable about computers. From what I've gathered, it seems to be a better idea to build from scratch, but I'd like to know your opinions.

Operating System
Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit SP1
CPU
AMD Athlon II X4 620
Propus 45nm Technology
RAM
4.00GB Single-Channel DDR3 @ 668MHz (9-9-9-24)
Motherboard
MICRO-STAR INTERNATIONAL CO.,LTD 880G-E45 (MS-7576)
Graphics
1024MB ATI AMD Radeon HD 6800 Series (ATI AIB) 45 °C
Storage
232GB Western Digital WDC WD2500JS-60MHB1 ATA Device (SATA)
Optical Drives
SONY DVD RW DRU-V200A ATA Device
Audio
AMD High Definition Audio Device

I have a 400 watt power supply, so I assume I would want a better one if I were to upgrade,

Thanks for taking the time to look.
