The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 is sitting at about 200 bucks cheaper than that—$100 and honestly, since they perform pretty much the same way, you’re basically just throwing money away if you buy the more expensive one.
Go ahead and give it a shot—if everything holds up, just take it. It’s not pulling more than 120W anyway, so there’s really no need to go out and drop cash on a new power supply.

I might be able to snag a GT 630 2GB—I’d probably try to haggle them down on the price if I bundle the graphics card with the power supply.
Honestly, you probably don't even need a different graphics card—just find out what kind of power supply you're working with first. This rig doesn't pull much juice, so there's a decent chance the current one is totally fine. $833That's a pretty fair price for that setup.
Look, if you're talking about that GPU—it's absolute garbage. If you actually want to play anything, you’re gonna have to shell out for a real graphics card.
Motherboard - $400 CPU - $1000 RAM - $400 Hard Drive - $400 GPU - $150
I highly doubt the rest of this setup is worth more than $100—honestly, the power supply is probably some bottom-tier junk. And why is this guy even selling it? If it's "new," how does it not come with a warranty? You’re basically buying a pig in a poke here.
How old is this thing? Any kind of warranty left? Also, what kind of WD drive are we talking about—and what’s the PSU situation? Are you throwing in a Windows license too?

Honestly, it sounds like you've got a bad or corrupted DVD on your hands. Just grab a new one and see if that fixes it.
Well, look, you already mentioned earlier that 120 GB would be plenty for you. 🙂 A hybrid drive actually comes with 4 GB of built-in flash memory—but just so we're clear, you can't actually see that memory or mess around with it; it’s totally off-limits. The system uses it to cache the programs and files you use most often, which is why everything feels snappier. As for the actual storage, the hard drive capacity sits at 750 GB.

Since you don't have an unlocked multiplier, you're going to have to bump up the FSB—which means you really need to keep an eye on your NB clock, RAM clock, and HT link clock, because they're all going to scale up automatically whenever you crank that FSB.
The motherboard is actually pretty decent for overclocking, so you shouldn't run into much trouble there—just make sure to dig through the BIOS section of the manual, since it'll tell you what everything actually does. Are you running a decent cooler or just some stock crap?
CPU: $67 Motherboard: actually, what you listed there is the graphics card, not the motherboard GPU: 150-$67 RAM: 150-$67 OS: $0.00
Where are the hard drives, the power supply, the case, etc.?
Just pop the case open—it’s not that hard—and check what motherboard you're actually running. You'll see the specific RAM type, the PSU, all of it is printed right there on the components.
