Budget Range: If upgrades I'd prefer to get under $200 which is a LOT to ask for but I can budge towards $300. $500 for prebuilt if it tops this system, $600 for homebuilt

Parts to Upgrade: Atleast the Power Supply and GPU

(PC SPECS)
AMD 6300 6 Core Processor 3.5GHz
ATI Raedon MSI 2048MB 7750
8GB of RAM

I've had this computer for a bout 2 years now. It was bought of of CyberPower PC and I really have 3 questions for you guys and maybe you can recommend me which option is better.
I have very minimal experience with building any computers or modifying but an upgrade is due. So I'll outline what I feel are options and please tell me if I'm heading in the right direction.
1. Upgrade this current PC (I bought a huge case) which would require atleast a power supply upgrade to upgrade to any decent GPU to my knowledge. My questions is A. How difficult is this process and B. What are recommendations for it?
2. Scrap it all and build a new PC for around the same $600 that I bought this for but again this would be a hand in hand process for me
3. If you guys know of a computer for $500 that could beat this one out, I'd be willing to buy it for flat cash.
If you have any questions I'd be happy to answer, thank you!
