This isn't a gaming PC at all and the 8570 is not a very capable card. I strongly suggest building a PC instead of buying one pre-built.

Not to argue but I never said "This Gaming PC." I bought this for youtube, video editing, and MINOR gaming. Like Counter Strike + WaW Custom Zombies. Check some benchmarks of the 8570. It can max out on both CS + WaW. You are right though this is not a full blown gaming PC. So I guess, you are right in a way.

You mentioned gaming and not much else.
And the 8750 (which is not just a re-badged previous-generation card) should be comparable to something like a 6670, which is fine for very light gaming. Still, the fact that something can max CSS and older CoDs doesn't really say much.

I said what games could I run. Did I ever say this is my gaming computer? No. And I do know that the 8750 isn't a GREAT card. I didn't buy a high end card because I knew I wouldn't be using its power. Don't you agree, it would have been a waste of money buying a Titan for CS & Older Cods.

Again, you didn't specify. You only mentioned gaming.
I agree that a Titan would be a waste for light gaming, but a Titan is a waste for any gaming. I would have recommended a card like a 650 Ti and other parts that are more suited to your needs, which you also did not mention.

Yeah, I figured if I ever wanted to upgrade I would go with some variation of a Ti. What other parts would you consider?

The 650 Ti is the best card at its price point, but if you want to spend less or more, another card might be the better choice. It's just a general recommendation for a good card at a reasonable price point. It should be good to go on your power supply even though the quality is presumably no good.
Otherwise, if you want a huge improvement in general usage, I suggest adding a solid-state drive. Do you have a budget for an upgrade and what do you want the upgrade to accomplish?
Windows 8 should also improve game performance and some other things like boot time.
