Desktop upgrade advice for gaming

[goldensausage]

I have a desktop around 10 years old, made 1 or 2 upgrades over the years, but now im looking to either upgrade it again.

I know my cpu is super old, but am i better off upgrade the gpu or cpu since gpu is more important for gaming. What is currently the weakest link in my computer for gaming?

CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 965 3.4 ghz black edition
GPU: Geforce GTX 660 1GB
RAM: DDR2 6GB
PSU: Corsair 450W (forgot model name)

Thanks.

Everything is a weak link in that computer.

If you want to game last gen and some current gen games then you will need a newer CPU, more RAM (8Gb is standard now) and a better dedicated graphics card.

I would recommend a
-FX-8320 (if you have a socket AM3 or AM3+ keep your current board)
-GTX 760
-PSU that is 450w or more
-2x4GB DDR3 1600Mhz Corsair Vengeance RAM (check what RAM speeds your motherboard supports)

Stick a gtx 960 in it - that's about the best option on a single purchase upgrade.

You can still game relatively well on a phenom 965.
