So, Im trying to turn my Lenovo K230 into a decent gaming and HTPC. After A LOT of reading I cant make up my mind on what parts I really need. This is what i have now:
Intel G33 express chipset / GMA 3100
Intel Core 2 Quad Q8200 @ 2.33Ghz
6GB PC2-5300 667MHz DDR2
640GB SATA 3GB/s 7200 rpm
Some shitty 280w PSU
Here is a link to Newegg, in case i missed something.

I guess my question is: Can i get away with putting in a quality 550W+ PSU and an HD 6850 and have a decent gaming PC? Or, what would you suggest without changing the mobo/CPU?
