Well first off it depends on your power supply unit weather you can upgrade also imo buying more ram and a video card for your system is a waste of money save your money and for around $250 you could have a much better system.

look man if you need to play all the new games without lags or crashes you need to upgrade your cpu too because most new games need at least a dual core cpu like amd Athlon II x2 , so if you upgrade your graphics card only, you will not feel in a big difference.........Good luck

If you could tell us exactly what you would like to do with your PC we can give more accurate help, but assuming you want it for gaming, it's better to get an entirely new system, starting with either an I3 or I5 CPU, but the choice of CPU is because I don't like AMD.
