What's your budget? I would add another stick of memory to match the one you already have. Maybe get a video card to substitute the on-board video that you have on your mobo.
http://www.gamerenders.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=303926 I suggest you read and LEARN how to Overclock, the guide to do this is EVERYWHERE, start from www.guru3d.com
budget = $500, I mostly use my pc for watching videos,music,CS2 and other graphic like stuff. I just want better performance overall. I want the best out of my applications and I think an upgrade should do just that.
if you do 3d graphics stuff which si GPGPU optimized a GFX card might help. otherwise, it won't what would help would be a CPU with more l2 cache and more RAM. download CPUz http://www.cpuid.com/cpuz.php tell us what socket the CPU is for and what chipset.
