Upgrading parts on e9220y [ Edited ]

[wdphillips2]

I'm looking to upgrade some of the parts on my stock HP desktop. I originally just wanted a nice desktop but I've been getting into gaming more and want to upgrade some of the parts myself. I don't know much about upgrading computers so I'm asking for some help from some experts who do know. I'd like some recommendations on parts for a good price. I don't need it to be top of the line, just enough to play modern games well (med-high settings) Here is what I can find about my desktop.

System Model: NY553AA-ABA e9220y

Processor: AMD Phenom II X4 910 Processor (4 CPUs), ~2.6GHz
Memory: 8192MB RAM

Graphics Card name: ATI Radeon HD 4350

Motherboard

H-RS880-uATX (Aloe)

I think the Hard drive is 5400 RPM 1 TB. 

300W PSU. 

Budget isn't a big issue, but like I said, I need good performance not top of the line. 

Thanks !

WD, welcome to the forum.

I have reviewed the specs of your computer and believe that the only upgrade necessary to increase system performance is a better discrete video card.  This would, however, require a power supply unit (PSU) upgrade.

I like Corsair and OCZ PSU's.  Here are two that would work:

I like XFX, EVGA, Sapphire and PNY video cards in that order. Here is one that should fit into the space provided and give you good performance:
