Is it worth it to get something like a GTX 600ti or will the processor / RAM be the bottle neck? Motherboard doesn't support DDR3, so I am guessing the only thing I could reuse would be my power supply.
Keep the PSU, scrap the rest. A new GPU would be bottlenecked pretty badly by that CPU. My wife's PC has a GTX 570 that was being bottlenecked by an e8500, after an upgrade to my "old" i5-2500k (I bought a 3570k) last year we saw a jump of almost 250% in FPS.
