OEM computers seem to have a trend of having a great CPU and an absolutely rubbish GPU with bad motherboards and compact cases.

Consumers get tricked into thinking that RAM or CPU is everything because the customer only notices how long it takes for Facebook to load open.

The 2600 is actually a 4 core, so OP is probably a typo in one way or another.

Here's mine.

(Scaled down for your convenience.)

It certainly isn't great, but it was only 450$, it does everyday things fast and it games kinda okay. I need some tips on upgrading this thing so I can step up from "kinda okay", though.

I think I should upgrade my graphics card but I'm not sure what would fit, and if I'd need a better power supply or something. I'd also like to upgrade from a dual to a quad core processor but I'm not even sure if that's possible. Can any computer nuts help me with this?

It's most likely that a graphics card would fit.
there's only a couple base sizes, and it's not very easy to get it wrong, I don't even think they make other sizes anymore. :o
And a quad core would be good, if you have a 350w power supply, you would have to upgrade to at least 500w if you get a new graphics card, but you should see what it recommends.
