This board will only run am2 cpus up to 89 watts.

CPU: Best option Athlon 64 X2 with Dual Core technology up to 6000+

GPU: Do not go much higher than a HD6850/6870 or GTXD460 or 550/560Ti right now, as your processor will bottleneck in all likelihood

*PS - Also consider PSU upgrading upto 450-500

I agree with this, HP is the worst for using poor EDIT (PSU's). As for the gpu even the ones listed above will be held back by whatever cpu you find. Mind you I wouldn't go any lower than a 5770.
