First you need to find out which part is causing the lag. Run hwmonitor and get into some laggy situations. Just post the results here that we can have a look at them.

That looks bad. GPU maxes out completely and the CPU is also running very high. You most likely have to upgrade both. If you and to get an overall better experience you most likely want to have a ssd as well. This looks more like a complete new build then an upgrade.
I will give you some more insights when I get home.

There should be both the manufacturer and the model, although we only need the model. It's usually a string of numbers and letters.

Edit: or, you can just take a pic of the side ;)

Need wattage.

Also for CS:GO I would look at a GTX 750 Ti.
