Upgrade for a 1 year old PC

Ok I really want to upgrade my pc now 'cause there are a lot of games coming out in the nxt few months :).

My current sspecs:

CPU:AMD Athlon X3 450 3.20Ghz

GPU:GTS 450

RAM:4GB

Motherboard:ASUS M4A77T

And here is what I've been thinking upgrading to:

CPU:AMD PHENOM II X6 1055T

GPU: GTX560 Ti

Also my power supply is 480W is more power needed?

Thanks!

i would upgrade to a phenom II x955 and save your money for a better psu , like a 600 W corsair or something. the x6 won't give you any boost in gamesevildead6789

Okay so the phenom II x955 is a quad core right?

And how much would a new psu cost? Like that 600W?

dont upgrade your cpu now..just get a better gpu..maybe a 560ti or a 6870 or something.just wait for the games to come out and see if it doesnt go well..then get the quad 955.gravitygamer

Edit: or buy an AM3+ mobo and the 955, that will give you some good headroom.

Don't bother upgrading the CPU. There isn't any worthy options on the AMD side. Upgrade the GPU to a GTX560ti or 6950 and call it a day. I wouldn't worry about your CPU until the end of the year at the earliest. Theres a possibility we could have new CPU's from both sides by then.

Your power supply might be fine, really depends on the brand. The 560ti only needs a quality ~450watt psu, but yeah need more info on the power supply.
