I agree you're going to have to upgrade that power supply. I just upgraded this computer for Starcraft II... and now I'm building a new computer.
I upgraded my power supply to 500 watts (after upgrading to 430... i underupgraded). I upgraded my video card to PNY NVIDIA GeForce 9400 GT X16 PCIE (which is still too slow... it just barely runs ultra settings)... I added 1 GB of ram (Starcraft II requires 1 GB by itself (and that's a minimum))... My processor still isn't updated to requirements for Starcraft II, but it runs the game fine... it just loads the game and maps a little slower. (this was a 5 to 6 year old computer that I upgraded).
Your power supply, video card, and ram upgrades are more then likely going to be at least $200. That leaves you $200 to work with for the CPU.
Make sure you search newegg.com and tigerdirect.com and compare prices and how the items work. Hope this info helps.
