This is my current computer, stock

It's only today that I started trying to figure out how to build a computer so I watched Newegg's videos and got the basic gist of it I think.
In practice though it got prohibitively expensive, and since I already have this not too old computer right here I figured I could just replace a couple parts and get a major performance boost out of the same box.
I want to replace the motherboard, power supply, video card, and processor. Everything else should be reusable right?
My budget is about $450, and any help, if this is at all possible, would be greatly appreciated.
