As title reads, I need help upgrading my gaming computer

Budget:
$600 (could go up a little)

Components of current computer:
CPU: amd athlon II x4 620
Motherboard: Asus M4A785-M
Memory: PNY Optima 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2
Storage: Seagate Barracuda ST500DM002 500GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive
Power Supply: CORSAIR Builder Series CX600 600W ATX12V v2.3 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC Power Supply
Video Card: SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 6870 1GB 256-bit

Parts I would like to reuse are
Power: Corsair 600W

I would mainly want cpu/mobo/ram/video card upgraded with my current power supply if possible

I'm looking forward to the feedback I get and thanks in advance
