Stronger video card would help a lot. I would replace the psu for sure as it's almost certainly a terrible unit.

What is your budget? Something like a GTX1050 would be a huge upgrade for you.

As is always the case with cheap pre-built gaming PCs, the GPU is the weak link.

Newegg has the Zotac GTX 1050 Mini on sale for $100 right now.

Fortunately there's some great deals on PSUs right now, like the Corsair CX430 for $16 at Newegg.

Total would be $87-$103, depending whether your current PSU is adequate.

The 750ti is a poor choice now that the 1050 is the same price. No rebates here

CTurbo :

Actually not same price. ASUS Strix 750 Ti is $87 right now. I hadn't noticed the Zotac Mini is on sale for $100 though, which is a better deal, so I edited my post.

Pretty sure the 1050 will run on the CX430 I posted too.

That 750ti as well as the CX430 both come with $20 rebates so they actually cost a lot more up front. The CX430 is not a very reliable psu either.

CTurbo :

I was just offering lowest overall price, we don't even know yet what he can afford up front, as he's not said. And I'd wager to bet that CX430 is a lot more reliable than what the system has now.

At the very least, $126 is still less up front than your $139 suggestion, with the bonus of getting $20 back.
