Well the CPU should be fine for some time, You could use a few more gigs of ram but it may do ok with the 6 so basically a new GPU would be the best upgrade to play current games and a good power supply, These should be a good upgrade and close to your budget.

as for your ram, I think there is a error with the DDR3 @ 665MHz, I'm guessing it is 1333 and if so I would add 2 gigs to have a total of 8 but will need to know exactly what you have to get the right ram. If you post up which Lenovo system you have it will help us know what is in there.

His RAM is right, it's 1333.

A 960 could run fine off his current PSU.

Lol there is an error on that link. They say i5 2300 but then say socket 1156. WRONG hahaha.

What kind of budget are you working with?
