[Percy_2]

As the title says, My PC is way overdue for an upgrade. I have $550 CAD and i need a gpu, cpu and mobo. What is my best options for this price range where ill get the most performance for gaming?

Well it depends on what PSU you have. Also what do you have now? Getting the memory may or may not help if it is DDR2. If it's DDR3, you can get Haswell, but it may be a bit more expensive. Also what quality are you aiming for?

How do you know what PSU he has? How do you know what RAM he has?

"way overdue for an upgrade" mean new ram.
A regular 450w psu will do.
