1) What's your motherboard?
2) Your computer will bottleneck at the CPU or RAM if you upgrade your GPU. If you upgrade your RAM, you will need to buy and install a new 64 bit OS. If you upgrade your CPU, you will need to upgrade your motherboard and probably your RAM, and your OS.

Basically what I'm saying is, unless you want a very minor performance increase, best build a new one.
