Building a Gaming PC, and I want to confirm what parts I need to buy to ensure compatibility with my existing system.

Hi guys,
My existing system consists of a
-Gigabyte G41m combo motherboard
-2gb DDR2 RAM
-Intel Core2Duo E4600 2.4GHz
-600w

I am looking to upgrade my system. I'm getting a AMD Radeon HD 7850 Core Edition from a friend. I want to check the compatibility with my existing motherboard. Also I need recommendations for buying a new motherboard if necessary, a processor, and anything else you feel is required for a decent gaming pc.
Kindly give in your views or suggestions on this. Thanks!

What's the model of the power supply, what case are you using? I think your motherboard, CPU and RAM need an upgrade. Your case might be old without good airflow so you might want to get a new one too.

If your power supply is already a high quality one (like evga, fsp, seasonic), this affordable upgrade would do nice if you're on a budget:
