the psu is probs too much the gpu will be fine i think you only need like 620w if you plan to add another gpu in the future but you probs won't use more than 450w (i think)

It is pretty good. Haswell is the latest from intel. The problem will lie in that you will need a new motherboard as well. Doing so will force you to reinstall windows. If you try to run the comp without reinstalling after replacing a mobo, bad things can happen.

Yeah I know, I just don't know if I should get a new cpu or not. After getting the graphics card.

So I would only have to reinstall Windows if I get a new motherboard? Like I wanted a new motherboard with two PCI slots instead of the one i have now which as one, and if I got that cpu you just posted. Would I have to reinstall windows?

Try that site for prices. Not always 100% accurate on the price, but very good most of the time and allows you to stay within budget.

Okay, so if I get a new processor and motherboard, do I need to reinstall windows again? Or no?

That psu is overkill. A 500-600w one will do the job just fine. Make sure its 80+ rated.
Note that this graphics card will be heavily bottle-necked by your weak CPU. You should either save some more money for a full CPU + Mobo + GPU + PSU update, or just get a cheaper Graphics card like a 7870.
