So I was thinking about upgrading my current system's ram and processor speed. These are the components it can take:

Ram:

G.SKILL 16GB (4 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Quad Kit Desktop Memory Model F2-6400CL6Q-16GBMQ

Processor:

AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition Deneb 3.2GHz 4 x 512KB L2 Cache 6MB L3 Cache Socket AM3 125W Quad-Core Processor HDZ955FBGMBOX

Current Specifications of my computer:

Motherboard: Pegatron M2N78-LA
Processor: AMD Athlon II X4 620
Hard Drives: 1 500gb Hard drive, 1 2TB hard drive
RAM: 6GB
GPU: ATI Radeon 5850
Power Supply: 750watt

Do you think its worth it to get a upgrade on these items so I can keep my original Hard drive with all the digital copies of my games as well as keeping my OEM Windows 7 64 bit activated or should I just build a whole new system. I want to be as cost effective as possible.

*DO you think the ATI Radeon 5850 will be able to last me for a few more years when I purchase games for the PC?

I want to play Battlefield 3 and Play all the COD games. I am sick of having little kids on xbox live. PC gaming is more of an adult gaming universe and you can get people saying good game and such. I have a F310 gamepad and all the newer games now a days are going to be able to be configured with it so Iwant to get games that I can play the gamepad with. I am just making sure my system is up to date in terms of hardware.

Its odd, many people say that, but i actually do better with the gamepad. I just suck at FPS shooters. I also find that the keyboard and mouse for me are horrible for gaming.

your pc is good, also upgrading from an athlon II to a phenom II is like upgrading from a 2010 toyota corolla to a 2011 toyota corolla lol

I agree with the others, no need to upgrade at this time as your PC is good for nearly all current games. I also think that you shold not change your RAM unless you are going to go with DDR3 (which I assume your board does not handle). Your rig should be good for the next year or so.
