Is it time for me to upgrade????

My specs:

CPU: Pentium D E6300 OCed

MoBo: Gigabyte EP43-UD3L

VGA: BFG GTX275 OC 896MB

RAM: 4GB Patriot DDR2 800MHZ

PSU: Antec Trio 550W

My rig is more then 2 years old and I am just not sure its up to task anymore, here is some benchmarks I did just now, please let me know if it is time for me to upgrade this old lady.. and Which part should I go for first, where is the bottleneck as far as gaming go.

around $350, so which means i7 isnt really an option for me, because that means new board, ddr3, and possibly a new psu as well

u can get this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.265477

or this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.265488

and u dont really need a psu upgrade i think, since ur psu brand is good

Anything below a i5/7 upgrade is not worth it. Besides, your duo core is still right up there in 99% of today's games.

I was thinking maybe like an Q9550 or a E8500 something faster and overclock friendly?

no dont get them, the lga 775 socket is dead and ur next upgrade will cost u a new mobo and cpu.

get what i showed u, the am3 socket will live for a looooong time and they are actually good for oc'ing my ph 2 940 goes up to 3.8ghz on a stock cooler!

having never built a AMD rig, I kinda want to try it, but they say ATI cards perform better on AMD machine, is it true? my bro is running a 4890, I can just swap with him that makes a difference.

thanks alot for the advice guys, I think I have made up my mind and gonna go for a phenom II quad core, and hopefully overclock it to a meltdown.
