Games are CPU intensive, make sure your CPU fan is not clogged with dust.

yes the PSU looks to be a tad low on power.

That means that I only need to change my power supply and everything would be OK?
How bout my RAM? Do I have to change it? Since my RAM is a 667MHZ and is connected to a motherboard that support 400/533 MHZ.....
