You don't need to buy anything except the CPU itself (most come with Heatsink and Fan). You're current CPU uses the FM1 socket which is a tad outdated haha. So the best CPU/APU I found to fit your socket is the AMD A6-3500 Llano: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103951

In my opinion, that CPU/APU is cheap so I would personally purchase an additional graphics card to CrossFireX with your CPU/APU (The best being an AMD Radeon HD 6670): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121442

You wont be able to play the newest games at the highest settings but thats your best option right now. The total will be around $155 if not less.
