You're gonna need a new CPU too because your current board is outdated and there aren't new boards that are being made for that.

Here is what I suggest:
PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant

CPU: AMD Athlon X4 860K 3.7GHz Quad-Core Processor ($74.29 @ Amazon)
Motherboard: Asus A88XM-A Micro ATX FM2+ Motherboard ($52.99 @ SuperBiiz)
Video Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 750 1GB Superclocked Video Card ($89.99 @ NCIX US)
Total: $217.27
Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available

This will give a huge leap in performance and you will be able to play some of the latest titles at low/medium settings with 30+ fps .

Only thing I am not sure if your current power supply will support this new board, gpu and cpu. What is the make and model of your current PSU??
