I'm new to upgrading and PC stuff in general and had a friend install my last graphics card upgrade for me

This is my computer's specs
http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03517389

The only thing i have modified is the
Power supply:
Corsair CX600M
and
Graphics Card:
GTX 650

Should I upgrade my processor, power supply, or just get an entirely different motherboard?

Or will I be OK with just upgrading the Graphics card and nothing else?

Thanks in advance! :D

Well that processor is pretty old and poor on newer titles and you WILL get bottleneck with your current cpu with newer gpu like 970, 980, 1060 etc. so i would first upgrade that cpu to 8350 or change for intel so that would be new mobo + cpu but with 8350 and new gpu you will be just fine im currently having 8350 and 970 compo and its pretty sweet in my opinion :3
