My advice is not to upgrade anything now. Save up at least $850 and buy a new computer. Even if you upgrade the Video card and PSU, The HDD is most likely running at 5400RPM and also newer Video card tends to spit a lot of heat. You are going to getting some intake fans and a good case with ventlation.

I recently upgraded my GTX 460 to a Powercolor 6950 and the case is like an oven even though I had 3 intake fans and using a decent case. I have to switch some of the intake fans to more powerful ones and I might even upgrade the case since the video card barely fits the case.........
