Two easy upgrades. A new GPU, and the one suggested is a fine choice but I would also say to upgrade your RAM to 16Gb. I went from 8 to 16 on my 6350/Sabertooth and saw a huge jump in responsiveness. Also... IF you have the budge and are not using an SSD for your OS and primary apps, think about migrating.

To do a GPU, RAM and SSD, you can easily look at $450. So that might be a warning flag to you that a new build might be better off, even if you have to save up for it. Adding in more RAM on an AM3 board is a dead end for that RAM. I will also assume your Mobo is limited to PCIe 2.0, not 3.0 so you're not getting full benefits from any new GPU.

Budget. What is it now and what will it be in 6 months or a year? What is your objective for that time frame? All three areas will make your experience better and two of the three upgrades will migrate. You can do them one at a time as well and not all at once.
