I would assume that the only changes required are in this particular order which may lead to entire system upgrade:

...I see you also included a link and it looks pretty fine. I'm going to say that you're holding off buying a graphics card which is a good thing.

Pretty good for casual websurfing & light gaming :)

Just get a entirely new system and put in an i3 or i5 with a midrange card from nvidia like the 750.
