It looks like the only thing you need to upgrade is your video card, everything else is good.

Its pretty old. I have a 6 year old computer that I just use as a media server now with that same processor.

Yes, only buy a GTX 460 IF your power supply can handle it.

Thats why I wanted to know how powerful it was.

Ah, I had my computers mixed up. My Core2Duo computer is actually only about 3 years old. Still, I think putting in such a high end graphics card will be a waste. Your CPU will bottleneck the graphics card. A 200 series card should be just fine.

That's very unlikely, considering that the Wolfdale E8400 was released 2 years ago.
