For your resolution and PSU something in the range of HD6770 or GTX550 on the low end. GTX560Ti, HD6950 or HD7850 upper end but most likely some bottleneck from the CPU and PSU if not quality needs replacing.

I see !!
i thought about getting GTX 560 ti myself ~
then how about if i upgraded into 500-550W Power Supply ?

GTX560Ti is a great card, a quality 500-550 PSU will drive it well but so will a few quality 450watt PSU's but since you did not put a name to yours I can not tell.

Best solution

oh come on...cut it out with the huge bottleneck, it's still a quad core at 3 ghz...may he won't get the fps that he would get with a sandy or ivy bridge, but he will still get very good results...upgrade your psu and your gpu and you won't be disappointed...a 560 ti will do you wonders

Frankly, i don't know much about PSU :sweat:  , so all i can see on my Power Supply sticker is the following:
ATX SWITCHING POWER SUPPLY PS-450W
Voltage 110-230V
Frequency 50-60Hz
Current 4A
... and i lot of Outputs numbers for each colored cable.
Beside these i don't see anything else :??: 
oh and there is 2010-2011 :na:

If you can not see a manufacturers name on it presume it low quality.
