We'd need to see your current system build.
Then we could discuss what needs upgrading.

Lets see...
You could upgrade to a WD Black 2TB for faster loading times, or an SSD for even faster loading times.
The GPU could be upgraded to a higher caliber, like a 780ti or a 290X.
10GB ram? How the-...
The CPU should be fine.

What do you mean by better? What settings do you run the games at now? Your GPU would be a good starting point. What power supply do you have?

New video card and possibly a new PSU. Whats the make and model of your current PSU and whats the budget for the upgrade. Also what resolution do you want to play at?

Try Speccy.

Or at least what we need to know.

You will have to open the side of your case to see what PSU you have.

That too.
A better card requires more energy.

Speccy won't show the make and model of the PSU.

You'll need to open the side of the case and look at the side of the PSU. Post the make and model written on the side of the unit, or take a pic and post that.

I wish PSU's came with an additional USB port to gauge its functionality.

Many high end PSUs do come with a usb output and software. See the Corsair AX line for an example.

Corsairs AXi series does. I can use CorsairLink to monitor just about everything on my PSU.

Your ram is a little slow, but that's not much of a problem.
Everything seems to be in order, perhaps all your need is a better video card then.

Just posting the size of the psu isn't a big help. If its a Seasonic or Supler flower built unit you'd be just fine keeping it, but if its something like a Raidmax or Apevia then you are going to want a new PSU.
