CPU: I actually have one of those CPU's. I use it in my work computer. It's slow as a turtle on a low-carb diet in MMO's and it does a poor job at multi core tasks as well. An upgrade here is needed. Good news, at least it isn't bottlenecking your GPU, which is the next thing on the list. Recommended CPU: i3 3220 or i5 3570k. Upgrading CPU requires a new MB, the ASRock Z77 board everyone uses will do the job fine. You can get a H77 board if you go for the i3, saves alot of money.
GPU: Low end card back in the day, was bad then, even worse now. This is a thing you absolutely will have to upgrade if you are interested in up'ing your settings. Recommended upgrade: 7770 or better AMD card/GTX650ti or better nvidia card.
RAM: Not enough unless your computer is used purely as a media center. You will get bad performance if you don't add a little more. Add 4 more and make sure it's the same kind and that you run it in dual channel. (placed in slot 2 and 4 from the CPU)
HDD: Now if you are low on money and can't affor the other parts listed at least you can get a nice windows experience from buying an SSD. This will multiply your performance in windows by probably 20. If you go for a sizeable one it would let you install a couple games on it, making them load alot faster enhancing your experience further. Use a faster HDD for games and the slower one for movies and music etc.
Asides from what I listed your PC looks fine for gaming. PSU is big enough for plenty more etc.
