What CPU do you have right now is it a single or dual core the best you can put in that motherboard is a Athlon 64 X2 5600+ if you have single core right now then that will be a pretty big upgrade for you if you already have a dual core then an upgrade probably won't do you much good maybe a CPU cooler and a overclock will help if you already have a dual core.

Ok can you post a screen shot of the whole thing if you could that would help a little. 2 cores means you have a dual core does it say what Athlon 64 X2 it is.

I can see it fine so you have an Athlon 64 X2 4000+ 2.1GHz you can get a Athlon 64 X2 5600+ 2.8Ghz you will probably see a increase in performance but not a huge difference but enough for you to notice it will help with gaming and running multiple applications at once. Or you can get a CPU Cooler and overclock your current CPU.

No get this one http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.240745 it's cheaper and the motherboard is way better biostar makes cheap motherboards. That PSU is not good off brand bad choice the watts is not what matters it's the amps and a 550w name brand would be better then a 1200w off brand.
Get this one
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817341017
$5 off with promo code EMCLWNL37 free shipping don't cheap out on the PSU it's the single most important part on the computer.

Yea it will work fine but be sure to look around there are some really nice cases out there for under $50.
My favorite for under $50 is this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119203
What ever case you get don't forget you might need to get a couple extra fan to put in it for air flow most of the lower priced cases only comes with 1 fan maybe 2.
