My motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-78LMT-S2 and my power supply is a 115-230VAC, 8A/48, 50-60HZ 500W. Was not completely sure if i answered correctly, Also there is a number at the bottom that says AP150*003

alright.
cheap low end PSU.

can't really give a recommendation as those PSUs often lie about their true performance and are pretty unstable
so I won't give a recommendation as I cannot forsee what will happen if you plug in a more powerful GPU.
I just don't wanna take responsibility or give you advise that might fry your whole system, sorry.

Hello
Wow is very cpu bound and even with a good gpu you won't gain many fps because of the weak single core performance of the fx 6300. Wow is a game that only uses 2 cores to it's fullest and thats why the fx 6300 is not a good choice for that game. Your power supply you posted is really crap and I would suggest replacing it before you upgrade anything because it might fry your system.

I would recommend saving up and building a new system. Intels 7th gen just launched and Ryzen is around the corner.
