And with the rest of the money, you can buy more RAM.

You need a better video card before you buy a better cpu. I think an AMD 4770 for around $110 would do wonders here.

Are you sure the CPU is your performance issue? Quick test is to put the graphics settings down to the lowest possible quality and resolution - if you have performance issues then you are CPU limited. If you only get performance issues when you up the graphics settings to a higher resolution etc then you are GPU (graphics) limited.

No. I disagree. A 4770 should work with the Dell original power supply. Yes, this adds stress to the system, but should work just fine.
