Your motherboard does not have a x16 PCI-E slot, you don't have a powerful enough PSU, and buying new both of these things will cost you over that.

Sorry, but you're pretty much screwed at that budget. That's the reason you don't buy prebuilt PCs.

EDIT: Actually, I might be wrong. The 8300 is a PCI-E card? Still, you're going to need to pay for a new PSU and it's likely that you'll be bottlenecked by the budget CPU as well. In this case you probably should hedge your bets and save up for a new computer.
