Scratch the SSD, you sacrificed your HDD to 50gb which is so mind boggling. Get at least 320 to 500gb of HDD. Your power supply should at least be 400watts but get 500watts just to be safe and for the GPU, it'd be best if you get a radeon 5770 or 6770 to play newer games than the ones you listed. If you can't afford the 5770 or 6770. Get a 5670. Lol wait, i think the HDD is just a typo sorry lol

yes
u'll definitely need a graphic card for your games.

replace SSD with a good graphic card, 5770/6770 is good option for gaming but i you want to spare budget and ur power supply, u can simply get 6670 as alternative.
6670 will do for most games 720p on high and 1080 on medium resolution depending on your monitor and ur flavor.

the rest of the spec is good for your budget.
