can you run cpu-z and post each tab as an image (host on imageshack), do the same for GPU-z too. And tell us precisely what you PSU is (open it up and have a look). Given the above we can start to have a stab at suggesting improvements for you.

Knowing at all what your specs are would help out.
They have had dual core cpus since 2006, so that is all "dual core" tells me, and even modern dual cores are not made equal.

If you have a 3 year old computer upgrading is best, if you have a 6 year old computer then it is not worth putting any more money into it and even a low-medum end gpu would be handicaped by your computer.

I would upgrade the RAM if possible and if your power supply is ample enough, upgrade the graphics card. You could at least try to get some life out of it rather than build a new one right away.
