* 550W PSU with Fan

But it seems to be worse of then my old one!! The games I try and play like WoW and ANNO 2070. All run at a Low Graphics setting and slow as.. Can anyone help me with a answer as to why this is???

Hmmm, never heard of "GH Power," which I myself would assume means it's cheap junk. If you have a tight budget (i.e. $80-$90), get a HD7750 and install it. Make sure it is a GDDR5 version, not DDR3.
If you've got a little more to spend, get a 380W Antec Earthwatts or 400W Antec HCG (about $45) and then get a GTX650Ti Boost Edition (around $150-$160). For power and price:
HD7750 < HD7770 < GTX650Ti < HD7790 < HD7850 <= GTX650Ti Boost Edition.

I don't see a graphics card there. Integrated graphics simply does not do well in games.
What "550W" PSU was included with your system? If it is something like a Logisys or Diablotek, do not count on it for any more than 300W, in which case a HD7750 is the strongest card you can safely run on it. A GDDR5 version of this card is now available for $90: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814161403
It's worth pointing out that the much stronger HD7770 can also be found for $90: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814161402 but I'd need to know more about your PSU before recommending it.

Does your PC have a separate graphics card in it? If so, what is it? Where is your monitor plugged in?
If it is not described on your invoice or receipt, you can open the side of your PC to check the label on your PSU to see what it is. Feel free to post a picture of it (although I will probably not be able to view it at work, someone else surely will).
If your PC does not have a separate graphics card, that would explain why your game performance is poor. AMD's old HD3000 integrated graphics is simply insufficient for modern games. Fortunately, adding a graphics card is a relatively easy thing to do. Tell us your upgrade budget and more about your PSU (power supply), as well as where you can shop.

The machine did not come with a graphics card. For the advertiser to call it a "gaming" system was basically a lie; only casual, ancient, and some flash games can be played without a graphics card.
What you should get will depend on your budget and what the PSU turns out to be.
On a low budget, a HD7750 should run even if the included PSU is only capable of 300W. For the most relevant answer though, let me know what the PSU is.

I know its an old post but this is for historical value:

The problem with this persons computer is the incorrect assembly of components (using the 760 chipset with the FX 8350 Processor)

Where People go wrong with computers (especially gaming)
For some reason they think they are smarter than the hardware design Engineers (which they are not)
People fail to understand that specific processors are tested to work with specific other components (such as mainboard’s, chipsets, and graphic cards. In this specific case the user failed to understand that the FX8350 was validated by AMD to be used with the 990FX chipset (not the 760)

A computer is either an assembly of components which you attempt to make work together or its an assembly of components which have been tested by the manufacturers and validate to work together. This example of using the FX8350 with the AMD 760G is the former, not the latter. (I have both of these mainboards setup with FX series chips)

Building or purchasing a computer requires homework (First). One must validate the assembly of components to be accurate and that they will meet their intended use. Simply purchasing a computer because it contains a specific processor will not achieve the results one desires, as we observer from this poor bloke.

Components are not independent
Building a computer system is all about understanding the Engineering behind the various components, and much less about the latest Marketing taunts concerning a specific component. In the end your assembly of components must function together as a team in order to produce the whole which you call a computer. Its imperative that you understand how to select an array of components which will function in concert. The CPU manufacturers will suggest or have listed on their websites, validated components, use and follow this resource. If you choose a mainboard as suggested by the CPU manufacturer then always select your video card from that mainboard manufacturer as the two components are designed and validated to work together

Power supplies? Understand the difference in peak and constant or consistent wattage output. And always do the math concerning the stated output of the various different power consuming devices you plan on using, keep in mind that peek wattage under heavy gaming load will change power supply needs. Increase by a factor of 20% the maximum consistent wattage the system components you plan on assembling indicate.

Cooling: Electrical components don’t function well under hight heat. The assembly being considered must provide for ample cooling or the system will fail. Everything in the system generates heat the higher the wattage used, vs the predetermined resistance, the higher the temperature will be.

Finally there is Software: One must understand prior to purchasing the first screw for a PC what hardware their intended software was designed for. Where this does not make much difference related to word processing, or internet surfing, its makes a vast difference in the gaming world. If the games one most likely will play were designed for an intel based system and one attempts to operate them on an AMD based system, the result could be highly undesirable, as the two processors preform instruction very differently. Further the Operating System chosen can make a vast difference in the performance of even a very well assembled machine. As technology progresses foreword, its doubtful there will be drivers for an older operating system (no matter how much you like it). In the latest world of UEFI replacing the older BIOS, this will become far more prevalent.

As an example, here is the latest Catalyst driver from AMD, if your hardware is not on this list, it will NOT work with this driver. This is just an example of how one must perform some research prior to purchasing especially game machines
