Current Specs. Ones in italic are planning to be upgraded.
Processor: AMD Phenom II 820 Quad Core (2.8 GHz)
Motherboard FOXCONN 2AB1
4 GB RAM
Graphics Card: HD Radeon 4200 (integrated)
PSU: Around 250 Watts
64-bit
I"m not looking for some $300 top-notch graphics card, just one that can run games like Skyrim, Red Orchestra 2, Battlefield 3, and Crysis 2 at around medium-high with at least 35 fps.
Thank you. My main concern for this is to find a PSU and good graphics card compatible for my motherboard.

ATI card are now in the 6000 series but a 5000 series should do the trick also.
A nice card to obtain, good performance for a reasonable price could be a "ATI Radeon™ HD 6870 Graphics (1GB)" for only 200$. There is the 6970 for 375$ that is 2GB thaugh if you want more power.
In the Nvidia product there is the GTX560 1GB for 225$ which is reasonable or the GTX570 1280Mb for 400$ (that's the one I have :P) for more power.
Good Luck
