Default Just need some info please

Ok, i would love to know exactly what i should upgrade on my PC to i can play games better. First off i would like to know if my CPU really sucks, some guy said it did, but i dont know if he was being serious. And I know i need a better graphics card, because mine cant support DirectX 10

Basically i would like to know if i should buy a new pc for gaming, or just buy upgrades for this one, and i would like recommended upgrades please. THANK YOU!!! And i hope you guys are having a great holiday season.

If it were me?

I would keep the hard drives, Optical drives, keyboard, mouse and monitor and treat yourself to a new motherboard, CPU, RAM and graphics card
