Video Card: EVGA 8800GTS 512MB - $260
Power Supply: OCZ 600W PSU - $90
CPU: AMD Athlon X2 6000+ - $160
Total: $510
You could squeeze by with your current power supply but I am afraid that it might cause some issues as it ages. Also before you go upgrading your CPU you would need to verify that your motherboard is socket AM2 and not 939.
Download and install Everest Home Edition
Run the programme, click + next to computer then summary
Look for motherboard name and report what it says here.

It will support the CPU that I have selected.
Feel free to stick around and wait for as many opinions as people come around to give.

I was watching this video because i have never installed a processor before and is it really that sensitive that i have to wear special gloves?

Is it better to get a really good power supply like the one you suggested and a not as good video card, or a less expensive power supply that is enough to run a better video card?If I were you I'd get an 8800 GTS.Also you'll need a better power supply Maximum PC used this power supply for their Dream Machine in 2007. I would also get a nice processor like this one .

The power supply he suggest is one of the best on the market. It is only needed for high end servers or high end SLI machines. It is overkill for your system.
