You would get a more substantial upgrade by getting a new GPU. Your current processor will suffice for most games but your current card is pretty weak and not really meant for gaming at all.

You will gain a larger performance boost in games from buying a faster graphics card. Just make sure that the power that your power supply outputs is sufficient to power said graphics card.
