Is asus p5g41c-m lx mother board, intel core 2 duo processor and gtx 650 good enough for a decent gaming performance??

hello i already own a cpu so far it has
asus p5g41c-m lx motherboard
4gb ram
im looking to add graphics to it and dont have much budget however the Gainward NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650 1 GB GDDR5 Graphics Card is in my budget.... hence would this combination give me a decent gaming performace for games like BLACK FLAGS or RIVALS at maxed out setting??

Your CPU is going to be a definite bottleneck so if you can upgrade your CPU and Mobo then That is recommended first. If you can't and only have enough budget for a Graphics card then adding a 650 will increase your gaming performance by a lot. It's a good upgrade but you want to make sure you have enough power. What PSU do you have?

If you open up your computer you can check your PSU. It has it labeled on there. And Yes you will get good FPS in games but games who are very CPU intensive will be bottle necked by your CPU.

Damn i just found out i have a 400W psu... does that mean i need to get a new psu ?? if yes how many W would be ideal??
