Help with upgrade

Hey, so I have to wait 2-3 months to buy a new PC, in the meantime I can spend around £200 upgrading my old PC...

Motherboard - Asus A8N-E (from 2005)
CPU - AMD 64 X2 duel core 4400+
GPU - GT 520
Ram - 3gb (motherboard can hold max 4gb i think).

So what would you guys recommend upgrading? I would like it to be able to run Swtor (It already does, but not in pvp situations).

I was guessing a GPU, but I don't have a great understanding of this sort of thing so I would appreciate some help.

Thank you.

i'd keep that 200 for ya new pc in 2-3 months, no point spending that kinda money for two months gain.

I'd like to be able to play Swtor for the next 3 months however.
I would really appreciate some suggestions.
Thank you for the advice though.

It depends on the PSU you have. As Tom suggested I'd use the money to upgrade your new build but if you still wish to upgrade I'll go with the GTX 550 ti (minimum system power requirements 400w)

As for gpu's your option would be:

Amd 7850 £200
Amd 6950 £210
Amd 6870 £140
gtx 560 Ti 448 Cores £185
gtx 560 Ti £170

These prices are how much they gpu's cost if you buy them online from a well known seller, but that's without postage.
But honestly it would be much better to spend this money in 3 months when you will be buying the pc.
