the cpu is on the low end so i wouldnt spend alot o a high end gpu because it will be bottle necked. the only things you can really upgrade for gaming is RAM (you want 8gb) gpu, the 750 ti like geofelt said is good, and probably a 400w PSU.
Things you could do is not exactly build a new pc but upgrade your mobo and proccesor. take parts off your old computer like cd, hard drive (which is almost like building a new computer)

What other parts do you have?

For gaming, it is the graphics card that is most important.
Buy the strongest graphics card that your budget and psu will allow.
That said, at some point, the cpu will become a limiting factor.
If your pc is now running, I would look at a GTX750ti that does not need a 6 pin aux power connector. It should be ok wit a 300w psu or better.
