Win7 32 or 64-bit? You could try maxxing out your RAM depending on your mobo. Definitely go for an SSD. I got a Sandisk 120GB for like $80. I'd get a quality name-brand PSU like Antec or Thermaltake, at least 500w. Like it's been said, your processor is dated, but if you're just doing minimal work like you said, then you should be able to make it last.
I bought a core-i7, maxxed out the RAM at 16GB and my OS is running on an SSD for less than a grand (I also have a 3TB drive plus a mirrored 3TB external drive for all my downloads.)
