    A nice new GPU will help very much so. Adding more ram will help with overall performance as well. The GPU is designed to do the work that is normally done by the onchip video device so yes, it would be a massive advantage. Don't expect it to be a miracle though, the CPU isn't a huge one, you might want to look at getting the new G3258 Pentium dual core, a VERY good CPU ARK | Intel® Pentium® Processor G3258 (3M Cache, 3.20 GHz)
    You would just need to make sure your MB would handle it. In the US the cost of this CPU is $70.00 approx.

    Hope that helps. :)
