Think this would shore up it's performance? Not sure if a new 500$ PC would be just as good with upgrade options.

Adding in the SSD and swapping videocards are two excellent steps in making this PC feel like new. Obviously you're not going to hit max settings in games, but if you've been fine with what you had and just want a bit extra, then you've chosen an excellently budget conscious way to make your computer feel like new.
