Alright so it looks like I need to hold off a bit until I can upgrade my motherboard, CPU, GPU, and RAM.  I really hope 850W is enough, I like my PSU :P

Can you guys recommend me some parts that I should look into getting?

EDIT: And yeah - I wanted to get into Planetside 2 eventually, and I will definetly be getting BF4...so whatever helps.

Yikes.  I certainly have the money to upgrade my motherboard and CPU, but I'm not sure if I'm willing to shell it out all at once atm, which is why I was sort of hoping to just upgrade the graphics card and RAM for now.  I'd say I'm willing to spend about $400-500 now, or wait 5 months or so and spend double that later.

This is my PSU

Built my first PC a couple of years ago and it's served me great.  Think it's time for an upgrade though and I'd love some recommendations (I'm still not great at this stuff).

Here's some of what I got:

Motherboard

AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition 3.4GHz

Radeon HD 6950 1GB

4GB RAM

---

I think my graphics card is the weakest link in my build, so I'd love some recommendations on some of the new kids on the block.

I also think I could beef my RAM up to 8GB (though let me know if you think this might be a waste).  If I did, what's the best way to go about this?  Should I get 2x4GB sticks or 2x2GB sticks and add them on to the two I have?  Can I do this?

And hopefully my motherboard and CPU are okay.

Never finished the first Dragon Age (the deep roads hit me like a brick wall), and the second game looked only okay.  Can't see myself getting back into this series.

Funny, I'm likely dropping my PC in favor of a console.

Nobody lists Banjo Kazooie as a positive for the N64?

Meh, as someone who's been PC gaming for awhile now, it's not all it's cracked up to be.  Just another way to game.

All it really comes down to is who offers the games you want to play.  The graphics and steam sales are great, but it's not what should attract you to the system.

Meh.  I had my run at PC gaming for about 2 years and finally grew quite bored of it.
